    A GUIDE TO NEPALESE DINING

    Regular everyday Nepali food is very healthy, nourishing , practical and surprisingly tasty. However, during many festivals foods can contain an elaborate assortment of delights. The typical daily meal for most people consist of Dal Bhat which consists of rice (Bhat), lentil soup (dal) and vegetables in curry (Tarkari) and/or meat (Masu) with a small amount of pickle /sauce (Achar).

    EATING HABIT

    Main Meal: In most part of country, especially rice-growing areas, Dal Bhat is eaten twice a day. Generally, the first meal of the day is eaten from about 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and the second shortly after sunset around 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. During weekends (Saturday), the first meal is obviously eaten little bit later.

    Snacking: Snack such as bread, chuira (beaten rice), roti (flat bread), curried vegetables, milked tea and other snacks are also generally eaten in between the two big meals.

    EATING METHOD & CULTURE

Nepali food is eaten in a typical way, for example: Dal Bhat is eaten in following way. At first, Dal is poured over the rice if the Dal came in a separate bowl. They are separated in chunks with your fingers. Then a bit of Tarkari and/or Achar is added for each chunks. Everything is eaten together in a chunk with the right hand.
