Thakali Dal bhat

Thakali platter basically has dal-bhat, but with an authentic twist from Mustang. There is something oddly pleasing about dal-bhat as our day is not complete without having a plate full of it. Dal-bhat for Nepalese is what fish and chips are for the British. The Thakali are the people originated from the Thak Khola region of the Mustang District in Nepal. Thakali meal consists of locally grown buckwheat, barley, millet, rice, maize and dal. A kind of dal is also made from the dried, ground buckwheat leaves. Also, other special pickles, gundruk, and ghee are also included. Thakali meal is collectively made up of all these food items.
