Taking ahead our food escapades in Nepal, in this episode we are exploring some authentic and traditional recipes from the cities of Kirtipur and Lalitpur. Along with our gracious and genial host Sanam Chitrakar, we visited two very special eateries that specialises in authentic traditional food from different parts of Nepal. This gastronomic journey includes a scrumptious experience from Newa Lahana in Kirtipur and Raithaane in Lalitpur (Patan). Kirtipur is an ancient city teeming with history, heritage, rich culture, hospitality, stunning landscape views and several monuments.
We started with Kirtipur. Situated at the distance of 5km south-west of Kathmandu, it is a center of the Newar culture. Here, Newa Lahana is a community run restaurant and open museum working towards the promotion and conservation of the Newar culture. With fully traditional setting, arrangements and menu, it is a flag bearer in presenting authentic Newari cuisine to the world. As we entered the kitchen, we were greeted by a jolly, dexterous and busy team of local womenfolk dressed in their traditional Haku Patasi. The menu here is quite extensive. We ordered Chatamari(rice pancakes with meat and egg), Samay Bhaji(Snacks Platter), Wo(lentil pancake), Chusya Mushya(grain based snacks platter), Shyapu Mhicha(bone marrow stuffed buffalo tripe) , Yomari(steamed rice cakes with jaggery filling) along with some native rice based liquor. The home style food was fresh and super flavourful. The variety flavours and textures was simply impressive. There is so much dynamism in the cuisine that leaves you gratified. Our ultimate favourite of the lot was the toothsome Yomari. The jaggery oozing out into the mouth from these steamed rice cakes transports you to a blissful zone where its just you and this popular (revered) dessert. The liquor made from fermented rice was strong and too sour for our palette.
From there we went to Lalitpur(Patan) to another special restaurant named Raithaane ( / raithaane . Founded by three passionate young men, it intends to introduce the world to the traditional ingredients and components of the diverse Nepalese cuisines through its super fascinating menu. It focuses on the under appreciated and under rated aspects- be it ingredients or cooking techniques-of Nepal's food traditions. Here we were joined by Prasantha Khanal, one of the co founders who briefed us about the lesser known dishes and ingredients from different parts of Nepal. At his recommendation, we tried some very unusual dishes like Rikikur(savoury potato pancakes), Kanchemba(buckwheat fries) and Chamre Fakse(aromatic rice with pork and wild lichen dish). Prasantha patiently familiarized us with the details of the dishes. The taste and flavours were very unique and unprecedented. Our favourite was the kanchambe with Timmur Chop(dried spice mix made with a local chilli). The experience at Raithaane was gratifying and insightful.
We are grateful to Sanam for taking us around to such amazing places, to the amazing team at Newa Lahana and Raithaane for such endeavour and to Prasantha for all the insights. Till next time keep walking and Keep exploring.

The Nepali hosts and the resturant owners have been very knowledgeable and eloquent. Great series on Nepali food. Shows you that Nepali food shares so many nuanced similarities with Indian and Tibetean food and yet it stands out in it's own personal niche. It's basic, no tadak bhadak, nutition based and unique. Unique. Same thing goes for Nepali architecture too.

[@ananthlebur1965]

@MY NAME IS surprising question, however majority of them I know are Nepali citizens with nagarik card, I think it is citizenship ID like aadhar, I also admit equal number of Nepalis made Hyderabad their permanent home,many hold aadhar cards n ration cards, I know many hold passports too, nobody asks them why settled there, they are never questioned about their origins..... They speak fluent Hindi,and local language n dress behave like locals...... During my schooling days45 years back, I observed Nepalese often seen doing security jobs distinctly wearing a national cap and carry a medium size kukhri...... Now none wear the cap nor khukri..... Now they are very well dominantly settled in hotel, restaurants industry..... They are trusted lot in the industry.

[@rinaad6169]

Kathmandu is a very old civilization, its history goes back to the times when Mahadev carried Sati in his back and her organs kept falling apart. Kathmandu was one of those places, that's why we have Guheswari in Kathmandu. Generations of rajas and maharajas had ruled this place. If you pay close attention, it has a very similar vibe to Varanasi. Especially near Pashupatinath.

Shrestha or Shresta came to Nepal from India during Rana rule in Nepal. They settled in Kathmandu valley and mixed with local Newar people.

[@angrymaniac53]

@@antigravity6 l lol you are just speaking false stuffs. We were already here in Kathmandu valley during Malla kings. There were people who came here and lived with us and learned about our language and call themselves Shrestha and Newars but Shrestha were already there during Malla kings. My own family history dates back to before late king Prithivi Narayan Shah and how things changed for us and other Shrestha and Newars after Prithiv Narayan SHAH captured Kathmandu valley. You guys just speaking nonsense at this point 🤣..

It’s videos such as yours and Nepali related ones that made me get a passport and see where this amazing food comes from. I loved it in Nepal and to be there exactly where you were makes me feel so happy. The world is a huge place and so different to what I’ve ever known 😀👍🇳🇵🇬🇧

There are several cuisine families in Nepal. But Thakali, Newari and Tharu delicacies stand out ! Because they are so organic and so tied to their culture !

They are the most popular ones. And also the most documented ones. There are several food cultures in Nepal.apart from those 3 that stand out too, stand out either on their ecentricities or taste.
