Honest verdict on Chhurpi — good but not exceptional
Chhurpi here was solidly made — earthy and warming without anything to complain about. timur Sichuan pepper was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.
dal bhat power for 24 hours is a trekking mantra reflecting how central the dish is to Nepali daily life. The a trekking lodge dal bhat atmosphere was pleasant enough. raksi grain spirit was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Chhurpi this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
