10 Nepali STREET FOODS in Kathmandu!! CRAZY Spicy Pakora, TIP TOP Jeri + Tharu Food in Nepal!

This is NEPAL 🇳🇵 A melting pot of culture and cuisine. My first time here! I'm ready to EAT all the Nepali street food!! Today I'm taking you for 10 street foods to try in Kathmandu, the chaotic capital city of Nepal. Here you can taste a wide variety of Nepali delicacies.

After our breakfast street food tour we're meeting up with a local "Tharu" family, The Tharu are one of the many ethnic groups in Nepal. Tharu originate from the lowlands of Nepal called Terai. Luckily for us we can taste their food here in Kathmandu, so today we will cook traditional Tharu snail dish called ghonghi.

To cap of the day we're eating more on the streets of Kathmandu. How about CRAZY spicy pakora anyone?!

One of your best videos in a long time. I don't know what it is, but you seem so much happier and it makes the video so much better. Was smiling all throughout the vid. Great job

A big shoutout to the students who represented their "Tharu cuisine" to Mr.luke! It was really heartwarming!

First of all let me welcome you to Nepal & welcome to Kathmandu, The Land of Gods. When foreigner ask why we put tika people can't answer properly so let me explain. Tika is believed to prevent the loss of “energy”, the red 'tika' between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. Tika is always put in forehead in middle of eyebrows. There are 7 chakras in human body. sixth one is called ajna chakra or the third eye or pineal gland which is located in forehead in between eyebrows. By putting tika in middle we are putting pressure in third eye. if i start explaining third eye i have to take online class. 😅😅😅You can learn more about chakra in google. About pigeon i don't know why people feed pigeon in other country's but in Hinduism to please planet Jupiter. Jupiter is teacher of all god "देवगुरु = devguru".

Love this video Luke and again you bring us to a total unexpected Country ! Never thought that Nepal was so colorful with food and spices. And the people seems to be very friendly and open. Love to see the next episode off your tour in Nepal !!

Wow !! Nice 👍

Just a little info: Nepal has a little different system than the rest of the world in terms of food habit !!

People wake up early and eat things like what you showed here - channa (black chickpea), aloo, boiled eggs, halwa puri, jeri, puri channa, sel roti etc .. but then they eat a very early lunch as well … like by 8/9 am … the full Nepali Daal-Bhat set is actually an early lunch .. and it’s heavy lunch … that’s probably why there’s not a lot for breakfast items - just quick bites that goes with tea.

But then they eat khaja during the usual lunch time - that’s when they eat momo’s, chowmin, chiura (beaten rice) with all kinds of curry or meat etc …

then theres chiya time in the evenings like 4/5 pm - when they eat snacks with tea !! Snacks could be anything from popcorn to samosas .. or all of the above etc etc …

then of course there’s dinner … which could be something as simple as the Daal- bhat or roti (bread) tarkari (curry) … dhido, momo’s again coz why not !! Shows how much Nepalese love their momo’s … etc !! To all kinds of meat items !!

Nepal have heavy influence on food culture from India and China - but, there are many local cultures that have their own typical Nepali dish - e.g all the Newari food.. along with Thakali food .. tharu food .. etc
Nepal is so diverse despite being such a small country !! Have a nice stay!!

I really enjoyed this video luke and mink.Probably watch this one again keep up the great work 👍 👏 cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

It is so familiar to see the way in which you explore. If or when you leave Kathmandu and venture into the mountains, then foods change again to more hot foods; soups and alike. I have many beautiful friends from all cultures. I am so greatfull that places like this still exist… I never want the World to become one culture, one language just for the sake of easy or laziness. I am writing to you because I saw you talking about “Puri” and I immediately returned to East coast India where you can walk out miles into where the low tides are and many persons are selling Puri. In particular “Panni-Puri.” A good friend who is a “foodie” wrote to me to give you a watch as she explained you have an appearance of a “good tongue” (her words) for explaining foods. I very enjoyed you Chinese/Italian street foods and your Turkish reviews. Good on you, young man… G’Day from Australia, mate!

Dipping sel inside chiya was the most nepali thing u did and that made me really happy 😊 ❤️🙏

Hi Luke. One small correction about Hinduism. In Vedic texts, it is mentioned that there are primarily ’33 Koti’ Gods. Koti has 2 meanings – Supreme and crore. While the texts might have meant 33 Supreme Gods (including elements of nature and the abstract aspects of the self), they have been lost in translation and many since then believe that Hinduism has 33 crore Gods.

Thanks a lot for this amazing video Luke, this is one of your best works in my opinion. I love Kathmandu, and even though I have been there several times, I have to admit that I dindt know about the Tharu. Very interesting and lovely people.

[sherriw]
