Nepalese cuisine is so much more than just Momo!

It’s not simply about making food spicy. Behind many of Nepal’s most loved dishes is a fascinating combination of herbs, spices, ingredients and traditional cooking techniques passed down through generations.

Have you ever wondered what creates that distinctive tingling sensation in a Nepalese achar? What is Timur, and how is it different from ordinary pepper? Why is Jimbu so closely associated with Himalayan and Thakali cooking? And why does mustard oil play such an important role in dishes such as Choila and traditional achar?

In our latest 𝗥𝗮𝗶’𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗸𝘂𝘄𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴, we take a closer look inside the Nepalese spice cupboard and explore:

🌿 Timur – Nepal’s aromatic, tongue-tingling Himalayan spice
🌱 Jimbu – the distinctive Himalayan herb
🫙 Mustard oil and its place in traditional Nepalese cooking
🌾 Methi, cumin, coriander, turmeric and sesame
🌶️ Chilli and the difference between spiced and simply spicy-hot
🥟 The flavours behind Momo achar
🔥 The spices and aromatics used in Sekuwa and Choila
🍚 How tempering can transform something as simple as Dal

From the Himalayas and hills to the Kathmandu Valley and Terai, Nepal’s geography, communities and generations of cooking traditions have all helped shape the flavours we know and love today.

We are deeply saddened by the devastating floods affecting communities across Nepal.

Our heartfelt condolences go to the families who have lost loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers are also with everyone who has lost their homes, livelihoods, or been affected during this incredibly difficult time. 🙏

From here on the Gold Coast, we may be many kilometres away, but our thoughts remain close to the people and communities going through this tragedy.

We pray for the safety of those still at risk, strength for those grieving, and courage for the families and communities facing the difficult journey of recovery.

May those who have lost their lives rest in peace, and may everyone affected find strength, support and hope for better days ahead. ❤️

Steamed, fried, crispy Kothey, warming Jhol or fiery Chilli Momo? Momo may be one of Nepal’s most loved foods, but there’s much more to it than the classic steamed dumpling!

In our latest 𝗥𝗮𝗶’𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗸𝘂𝘄𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴, we explore the different types of Momo, how each style is prepared, what makes them different, the variety of fillings and achar, and how this humble Himalayan dumpling became such an important part of Nepalese food culture.
