Nepal

Nepal is bordered by China to the North, and India to the South. So it may come as no surprise that the Nepalese have taken dishes from surrounding regions and made them their own. Popular spices include Szechwan pepper from China, garam marsala and garlic from India, as well Nepal's own favourite, mustard. Chicken dumplings served with a spicy sauce – Momo Kukhura – is a traditional snack food in Nepal, and we show you how to make it. Basmati rice is common to the region, and is served alongside meat and vegetable dishes.
