Newari Khaja Set for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Newari Khaja Set for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The hearty and filling profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced timur Sichuan pepper used that way before.

dal bhat power for 24 hours is a trekking mantra reflecting how central the dish is to Nepali daily life. I explained the a Sherpa kitchen in the mountains context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. tongba millet beer was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
