Dal Bhat is Nepal’s most widely eaten dish. It’s on every menu in every place that serves food in Nepal. The Nepalese eat it two or three times a day, every day.
Dal Bhat is the quintessential Nepali dish and a staple in the rice-cultivating regions. It generally consists of dal (lentils), bhat (rice), a vegetable curry / saag, and chutney. It is eaten (traditionally) by mixing the dal with the rice to form a soupy mixture, making a ball of the mixture with your hands, and adding curry and chutney. For the trekker, a spoon is acceptable too…
