カトマンズ盆地は高地ですが肥沃で良質の野菜や果物を産します。カレー風味のダール豆のスープをインディカ米にかけて食べます。水質が悪いので野菜は炒めるのが普通ですが、バクタプールの食堂で生野菜を食べる機会がありました。大根は鶴ではなくて蝶をかたどったのだそうです。そういえば山でも街でも沢山の蝶を見かけました。

Nepali food culture
Sun. January 9 : fine
Kathmandu Basin is a high land but it is fertile and yields good quality vegetables and fruit. Nepalese eat curry-flavored dal soup putting it on indica rice. As the quality of water there is not good they usually stair fry vegetables but we had a chance to eat raw vegetables at the restaurant in Bhaktapur. The white radish was cut in a butterfly shape, not a crane. Well, we surely saw a lot of butterflies everywhere, on the mountains and in the towns.
