Country - Nepal
Cuisine Description - Nepali cuisine is variable, influenced by Tibetan cuisine in the north of the country and northern Indian cuisine in the south. In central Nepal, including the Kathmandu Valley, the cuisine is a unique mixture of the two.
Nepali cuisine uses spices such as cumin, fenugreek, and coriander; and rice and lentils are eaten as staples. This southern-influenced brand of Nepali cuisine is different from Indian cuisine mainly in the much more moderate usage of oil and spices.
Influences from the north include bamboo-shoots, preserved vegetables (various pickled/fermented vegetables), and dried vegetables (gundruk and sinki), which are regularly and commonly eaten. Also popular are steamed dumplings (momos), usually eaten with a sauce made, variably, of tomatoes, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Copyright Wikibooks
