I haven't seen many threads about Food in Sajha. I know a lot of Nepalis I know love chicken and rice and have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What else besides chicken and rice do you guys love (ethnic food). Mine are:

Vietnamese - especially (Goi Couin)
Thai - Green Curry Chicken, Fish Cake, Tom Yum soup
Japanese - Shasimi, sea weed salad
Chinese- Dim Sum Brunch
Korean- Seafood soup and bbq
and more

Lets hear yours.

sorry guys, but " Ras Gulla" always cracks me up, I can't help laughing whenever I hear that someone wants ras gulla for dessert, gulla sounds so vulgar but when you add ras to it, becomes mouth watering...ha...ha..ha..I'll just stick to "lindt" dark choclate.

hahah thax bedrock, now i cant eat "raas gulla" without laughing...hahaha it waters ur mouth when u eat it re hahahahhahaha..

For those of you who are challenged with culinary skills for nepali food, there's a book out there which might be helpful. I picked my copy at a bookstore in Bhotahiti when i visited there couple of years ago. Its in Nepali.

" Dipti Rana's Delicious Family Dishes"

What do you call "Tori ko Tel (Oil)" in English?

I have been trying to find it here in Indian stores. I don't know what "Tori" is called in English. Anyway,,, who could help???

Tori is mustard, so look for mustard seed oil in indian stores. They generally keep it. I picked one by "SWAD" brand. If you haven't used before, also try "Sesame Oil", certain food tastes very good cooked on sesame oil and is similar to our taste. good luck.

My favs:


opor ayaam : indonesian dish
afgani kabob : afgan dish
gundruk and rice : nepali dish, and momo too :)

Bon appetite :)

Hey Preeti Rana, how is this "opor ayaam : indonesian dish", I go to Malaysian Restaurant called "Penang" all the time, just wondering if it is any similar to Indonesian. "Penang" is a restaurant chain and is in several major cities. I recommend this place.

I used to be scared of that song" ghas katney" when small! :(:(: My dada used to sing it to scare meh always ! :(:(:(:(

All you guys, Bedrock, and other who seem to be or give an impression of a good chef, can you please advise me a good way to prepare momo. What ingredients should be mixted with the meat and how do we prepare a good achar?

Maha-sakti:

Here is the mother of all ingredients: Make sure you are famished, any kind of momo will taste heavenly!

;)

Maha-Sakti:

Trial and Error is the best way to learn.
Make something in small quantity....taste it....see what's missing....correct your problem....try it again.....after some time you are the best cook out there.

Lady Croft:

Guys and Khasi? Never thought about that before. May be because unmarried guys call each other bokas and Khasi is something exotic for them.
OMG. Ghas Katne scared you???? you must be so young?
