It is not only Nepalese National food but also common yet special meal that almost all Nepalese have to have it as a meal in their daily life. It is the main course of the meal and usually serves twice a day, once in the morning and another in the night as dinner in regular basis.
This is the most preferred food cooked in Nepalese home. And it is the combination of a bowlful of steam rice cocked with water (Bhat), a handful cup of liquid based different kinds of lentils (Dal), and is accompanied by different kinds of vegetable curry along with a green vegetable (Sag) including a hand mixture of spicy dried vegetables pickle known as Gundruk and yes of course, is served with green salad (some slices of carrot, cucumber, radish and lemon). And at last but not the least, serves with a decorated light yellow coloured crunchy thin quick bite known as Papad.
Here in Nepal, every child has to pass through a ceremony of Rice Feeding which is celebrated once reaching after 5 moths of birth in the case of boys and 6 months of birth in the case of girls.
Since then, the child becomes able to eat solid foods and starts to take Dal Bhat Tarakari as their main course of meal as daily basis till the life long periods.
In this way, this is how it is prepared and served in Nepal, how about in your country??

My name is Prachand Man Singh A local guide correctly level 7 And I’m from the Himalayan kingdom, Nepal.
@Mr_Prach , Thanks for sharing a nice information about Nepal’s food. What is the meaning of Tarakari? I am in from India. In South India Kannada language, we call Tarakari for vegetables. Even we have tradition of doing Annaprasanam to kids
@Kousalya Thank you very much for your information. Yes I forget a bit to introduce Taraakari which is the same as you mentioned, is the vegetable curry. And yes of course we also do called “Anna Prashad Grahanam” it’s in Sanskrit where Anna means food, Prashad means bless and Grahanm means to have it.
@AnuradhaP it’s really glad to hear from you and also thanks for sharing information about Sri Lanka too. It’s my pleasure to share with our local guide community.

I also like eating rise, unfortunately I don’t like heaving breakfast, so I don’t eat it for breakfast, but for lunch or dinner.
My most favorite Bulgarian dish is rise with chicken. In my family we cook this dish very often, and I can say that this is probably one of the first solid foods my kids have tried.
@MoniV it’s my pleasure to share it with this community. It’s really nice hearing that you also like rice as lunch and dinner. And it’s the connect live through which we can share our local stories which really helps to understand each other very closely and own customs too. Sounds really great that in Bulgaria also the rice is most famous meal and yes for me too, rice with chicken curry is awesome. Just can’t say no anytime.
