Nepalese cuisine is diverse, and is very influenced by several other kitchens such as the Indian, Tibetan and Chinese. Spices and flavorings used in Nepali food can be ginger, garlic, coriander, pepper, cumin, chilies, cilantro, mustard oil, ghee and occasionally yak butter. The Nepali staple diet is Dal (lentils), Bhat (rice) and Tarkari (curried vegetables). Beef is typically not eaten in Nepal for religious reasons. Local liquor, tongba and thon (rice beer) are popular drinks in Nepal. |
