  • Summary

  • What makes a food "Nepali"? What makes food "authentic"? Do Western cooking standards hamper how we engage with Nepali food? We talk about it all in this episode of The Nepali Outpost with guest Prashanta Khanal, whose new book Timmur – Stories and Flavours from Nepal is available in fine book stores near you. We also talk about the politics of food, question Nepal's inferiority complex, and wonder about the future of Kathmandu's foodscape. Prashanta and Slok also share their one controversial take on Nepali food -- it involves vegetable momos and Dalle Khursani. Happy Listening!
