Country: N for Nepal
Dish: Vegetarian Thali (Recipes)
We are exactly half way through the marathon, 13 done -- 13 more to go. Our next stop is Nepal and this was the very first country that I cooked for. I knew it was going to be Nepal for N from the very beginning. Ever since I saw Sandhya's Nepali dishes for one of the previous BMs, I wanted to try them and this was the best opportunity I got. Also when I was planning the dishes, we were freshly done with the Indian states mega BM and all the thalis that were posted really inspired me to plan a thali for Nepal too.
The Nepalese are mostly immigrants from India, Tibet, North Burma and the Chinese province of Yunnan via Assam. So the culture and the cuisine is mostly influenced by all these countries. Much of Nepalese dishes are made in India too, especially in the North eastern Indian states.
Today's thali is inspired from Sandhya's Dal-Tarkari post and I added couple more dishes to make my thali.
Dishes in the Nepali Thali:
- Dal Bhat (Dal & Rice)
- Tarkari -- Mixed Vegetable Curry
- Saag (Curried Spinach)
- Tomato Achar (Chutney)
