Dal (Lentil Soup): Dal is the backbone of Nepali cuisine. It's a hearty, spiced lentil soup usually made with split yellow or red lentils. It's flavored with spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, and often garnished with fresh cilantro. Bhat (Rice): Rice is a staple in Nepal and is served with almost every meal. It's typically plain steamed rice, and it forms the base of the meal. Tarkari (Vegetables): Nepali meals feature a variety of vegetable dishes, often prepared with seasonal produce. Common vegetables include potatoes, spinach, cauliflower, and green beans. These are usually cooked with spices and sometimes with a touch of mustard oil. Masu (Meat): While many Nepalis are vegetarian, those who eat meat often enjoy dishes like chicken, goat, or buffalo curry. The meat is slow-cooked with spices and can be quite spicy. Achar (Pickles): Nepali meals are incomplete without achar, which are spicy pickles made from various ingredients like tomatoes, radishes, or even fermented leafy greens. Achar adds a tangy and spicy kick to the meal. Ghee: Clarified butter, known as ghee, is used for cooking and flavoring in many Nepali dishes, giving them a rich and buttery taste. Dahi (Yogurt): Yogurt is often served as a side dish or used to cool down spicy curries. It's also a key ingredient in dishes like raita. Roti (Flatbread): While rice is the primary grain, you may also find wheat-based flatbreads like roti or chapati served with Nepali meals, especially in the western regions of the country.
