This is a home made food, as we are in winter season in Kathmandu and in a month there will be Spring so in order to keep our body warm and signify ending of cold season and welcome new cultivating season we celebrate Magh 1st or Maghe Sankranti in Nepal.
The food in 1st picture is of beaten rice along with cauliflower, peas as vegetable and potato and cucumber as pickle, chicken fry, kidney beans in gravy and “chaku” is Nepalese cuisine made from concentrated sugarcane juice, jaggery, ghee, and nuts. The mixture is cooked down until it is a solid form, and then pulled on a hook in a manner similar to making taffy and then cut into small rolls, or it may be cooked in a shallow dish and cut into small diamond shaped pieces.
In 2nd picture almost the dishes are same except for main dish we eat “khichidi” which is a mixture of black lentils and rice cooked in pressure cooker and served with ghee and eaten hot. Enjoy the picture and food if you have eaten anywhere!
