Recipes from a Himalayan kitchen

Nepali Taste began as a way to keep our family’s recipes alive. From the bustling lanes of Kathmandu to a quiet kitchen abroad, the food we grew up eating — daal bhat, sekuwa, aalu cauli, sadheko — has always been the surest way home.

This site is our small archive of those dishes: written carefully, tested often, and adapted for cooks anywhere in the world.

What you’ll find here

  • Authentic Nepali recipes with the spice levels and techniques our families actually use.
  • Step-by-step instructions that respect your time without skipping the details that matter.
  • Background and stories for many dishes, because food and memory are inseparable.
  • Print-friendly recipe cards for the cook who still loves a paper page on the counter.

Who is behind it

Recipes are written by Ritu Ghimire, with photography and editorial help from family. We are not a large publication — just a few people who believe Nepali food deserves the same care as any of the world’s great cuisines.
