 Gastronomy

The national dish is dal bhat, white rice seasoned with a lentil sauce, vegetables and condiments. Gurr, a potato pancake, is the Sherpas' daily meal. In the regions neighbouring Tibet, mountain dwellers eat tsampa - gruel made with flour of crushed barley seeds, served raw. Tibetan cuisine is actually on many Kathmandu restaurants' menu: thupka (meat soup), momos and kothays (boiled or fried meat-stuffed ravioli), tenthuk (a sort of tomato and spinach lasagna), sha bhalep (meatloaf)... Tibetan style tea is drank with salt and mixed with yak butter. Try also tchyang - beer made by fermenting barley seeds or rice.
