I love Nepali food, I love other cuisines too, like Chinese, Italian, American etc etc basically I love food  so I enjoy trying new cuisines. But I cant eat them in a regular everyday basis. I have to have my Nepali Daal Bhaat Masu taarkari achaar everyday at least once. The most I can go with without our food is two day to the most, any longer the Daal Bhat tarkari starts talking to me, its like addiction. No food gives me pleasure to eat our Nepali Bhat, Kalo Daal, aalo kauli, Khashi ko masu, piro golbheda ko achaar with timbur, with a poach anda and ghiu jhane ko on top of the rice. I use my hands and take down the biggest gaas after gaas, eating with the hands is special. Nepali khana khada Naito thado hune gari khanu parchha. and to end the great meal, a glass of moi (remeber this drink). Thats the way to EAT.

thanks bro will keep that in mind. No problem so far for me and millions of Nepali do that everyday in Nepal and yet Nepalese people dont suffer from obesity, but its a different story here in the US, you are right the environment is better but I do work out daily to make it up and dont have plans to stop. Its just i love Nepali food too much

Maddy,

It seems you recovered your lost password. This nick is way better than what you had few days earlier. I knew that tama is available in chinese market but didn't know about gundruk. Next time I'll try their gundruk as well. Thnks for letting know.

 

I HAVE GONE 2 YRS WITH OUT NEPALI FOOD. (EXCLUDING THE INDIAN FOOD I HAD IN THE RESTAURENT)

I have been lucky to have few good friends who make newari foods here in US. Don't u guys think newari food has special taste and place in nepali cuisine and in nepali tounges???

nepali foooddd... fku that.. i can leave forever without it

13 days homie

Can totally relate to the sentiments expressed on this thread. Dal, bhaat all the way!

Replace bhatamas with roasted soybean and you can get any grocery store.

आफु त दिन दिनै खाइन्छ। 

People who eat dal bhat twice a day everyday r usually pakhes...

मित्र पावररेन्जर,

यो  पाखे  भनेको  के  हो  मलाई  बताउदिउ न एक चोटि? अम्रिका  बसेर  दुईचार शब्द अङ्रेजी बोल्न र लेख्न जान्दैमा मित्र अम्रिकाने नै भैसकेको हो कि के हो? अम्रिकाको बासी बर्गर र स्यान्डविच खाँदैमा राष्ट्रियता नै परिवर्तन भयो कि के हो? गाउँघरमा बस्दैमा अथवा नेपाली र देशका अन्य राष्ट्रिय भाषाहरु बोल्दैमा र अम्रिका बसेर पनि बिहान बेलुका दालभात खाँदैमा कोही पाखे हुन्छ? मेरो बिचारमा त पाखे त्यो हो जो देशमा बसेर बिदेशीको नक्कल गर्छ अनी जो बिदेशमा बसेर देशलाई गाली गर्छ, भाषालाई गाली गर्छ, संस्कृतिलाई गाली गर्छ, खानालाई गाली गर्छ। हो तिनीहरु जम्मै पाखे हुन्। जो आफ्नो आमालाई माया गर्छ, देशलाई माया गर्छ, आफ्नो भाषा र संस्कृतिलाई माया गर्छ, आफ्नो खानालाई माया गर्छ ती त काखे हुन्। के मित्रलाई काखे र पाखे बिचको फरक थाहा छ? बिदेशी खानेकुराको स्वाद लिनु, बिदेशी संस्कृतिलाई अनुभब गर्नु नराम्रो कुरा होइन र यो हामीले गर्नु पनि पर्छ। तर त्यसो भन्दैमा अरु कोहीले बिहानबेलुकी नै दालभात खान्छ भने त्यसलाई पाखे भनेर गाली गर्नु चाँही बहुत अचम्मको कुरा हो। आखिर आफूलाई जतिसुकै सेक्सपियरको नाती सम्झे पनि नेपाली त चाहिदो नै रहेछ, होइन भने किन पाखे भन्ने शब्द प्रयोग गर्नु? होलान् नि त अङ्रेजीमा त्यस्तै केही पाखे भन्ने त्यही प्रयोग गरे भै हाल्यो नि, के पाखेले जसरी पाखे पाखे भनी रहेको?     

पाखा पखेरामा बस्नेलाइ पाखे भनिन्छ

I apologize if that "pakhe comment" was a little too much. But I'm telling you, you should not be boasting too much about eating dal/bhat ko pahad 2 times a day every day. Eating too much rice is not good whether ur Nepali or not. Period.

Power_ Ranger, it looks like not eating Dal, Bhat 2 times a day has affected u and u have lost yr mind completely....try nepali food 2 times a day . It might provide u some commmon sense.

LoL @ Dude who is complaining about Rice two times a day ...I grew up eating Daal/bhat/ Fresh tarkari's from own farm . Get a life dude rice never effected anyone's health probably you have no idea what you were talking about .

Obesity is not the problem if Nepalese people or in Nepal. Its here in
the US.  Rice is just another form of unwanted carbs for westerners on
top of their regular diet of food they consume daily like bread and
pasta, donuts, ice cream, steak potatoes and lots of take outs and fast food. You see power ranger bro, for most of us, eating out is rare and
occasional treat its real fun and we enjoy it. We dont eat food like
Americans do so they dont eat rice as a staple because they already
consume enough carbs thats why rice is not consumed here as much as we
Nepali people do. thats why for us Nepali it balances the equation of the daily nutrients. If you
eat like Americans do and continue eating Daal bhaat twice a day than
that could result in some extra unwanted weight. But the topic is how
much do we crave Nepali food and how long can we go on not eating it. Not Bhaat bashing please, consider momo, choila, sekuwa, etc etc too how much do you crave them or any other Nepali food that you crave and havent had them for a long time.

I'm quite a big food fan and I eat a lot of different types of food on rotation:

tibetan/nepali/newari momo, chewla, pasta, beef stew, dosa, mcdonald's, dal/bhat, thai, chinese buffet, sushi, fish curry, fish fry, bbq, mexican tacos, tom yum soup, tomato basil soup, mugling chicken curry, hakka chinese, korean, korean bbq, gyro, south indian meal, yum yum, yum yum yum, yum yum yum yum

I do crave Nepali food but I don't need to have it everyday.

 

My roommate's philosophy regarding food is like sex. If you have choice then you may like to go with it every day or every other day as you feel it , if not you will await until you got a chance to have it.

But you can manage food as you like it unless behave like ex-crown prince Paras because back home your family did every thing.
