Newari Food

Festival in the newar family mean lots of friends and relatives getting together at one place for food, fun & ritual ceremony. On May this year, I got chance to see first time the light festival organized by my Mama in Bhaktapur. Around 400 freinds and relatives were invited in the ceremony. The food was delicous, a traditonal newari lapte Bhoj. A Enjoy a lot... sorry no pictures from the Bhoj..

Saag is a nepali word for the Spinach. Saag is a very popular vegetable in India and Pakistan. It is commly eaten with bread or naan in India and Pakistan. The Nepali Saag is very different in cooking and it will be cooked without  curry. The Saag will taste more like saag due to the less spices used by cooking. Saag is eaten commonly with rice in Nepal. Saag is very popular in the hilly region as it can be easily grown in the hilly region I love to eat Saag ko Tarkari at my aunty house(TAMA) in Bhaktapur, which she used to grow in her own garden in earlier days. I still remember those days as I used to stay in Bhaktapur during my Winter school breaks and having Saag Ko Tarkari.
