It is our first time in Khokana, NEPAL, an ancient medieval Newari village located in the Kathmandu Valley. Let me tell you: Khokana is a gem. It is so nice that we came back the next day to experience more!!
Our first day. We met Harinath Ji, the owner of Lachhi, a local hub for ethnic foods, ethnic living and ethnic crafts.
We visited Gabu Jaaysha Oil Mill, the only community owned mustard mill using Newari traditional method in Khokana, NEPAL. Harinath also gave us a tour around the village.
At Lachhi, we ate:
1- Chatamari: like a Newari pizza. I call it Newari galette. Rice crepe topped with meat, egg, or veg.
2- Bhuttan: Buffalo digestive organs.
3- Samay Baji: a traditional food platter served at Newari festivals and celebrations as offerings to the gods: After the food has been blessed, it is served to the mere mortals to eat. The components represent good luck, longevity, fortune, prosperity and health.
4- Alu Tama: Potato & bamboo shoots soup.
Next day, we came back and we took the opportunity to also visit Bungamati and its temples during Maha Shivaratri.
We went to Hayagriva Bhairab temple, the protector of Bungamati, to receive our blessings from the Hindu priest.
Then, we crossed the suspension bridge to reach Karyabinayak, visit the temple and have a typical Nepali breakfast there:
5- Sel roti + Tarkari.
We came back to Lachhi and had:
6- Bara: lentil pancake.
7- Hassko choila + buffko choila: a grilled meat that is known for its spiciness. The meat is blackened and crunchy on the outside and pink and tender inside. Then, the meat is marinated in a combination of spices and served cold.
8- Sapu michha: It is a buffalo leaf tripe stuffed with bone marrow. Sapu Mhicha is crispy on the outside and when you put it in your mouth, it explodes and has a creamy liquid texture. It is usually eaten during special occasions or festivals.
9- Mee Kwa (Methi soup): fenugreek seeds soup.
10- Yomari: a thick steamed dumpling made of rice flour and filled traditionally with chaku (molasses with sesame seeds) or khuwa (condensed dry milk).
A wonderful culinary experience in an ancient medieval Newari village located only 30 minutes from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
