The “bhuteko and a-chiura” at Bhuju ko bhatti at Gabahal, Patan is fast, plentiful and inexpensive (Rs. 70). But those are not the only reasons why this simple household grub works as a popular late afternoon snack. Bhauju ko anda-chiura also gives you a good taste and a bit of childhood nostalgia. Order a cup of local tea on the side, and you have a perfect Nepali combination.
There’s no better way to sample most of the traditional and authentic Newari flavours at a single sitting than by feasting of the customary Newari Bhoye at Newa Lahana in the ancient town of Kirtipur.
