You know more than me which is great 😂😋👍 I love reading your list looks way bigger than the one I took to Nepal, so many things I can associate with and want to eat. The food over there is amazing, let alone the views and lovely people.
My wife is Nepali and I wish you had tried some of the most famous and authentic Nepali dishes like Mo:mo (dumplings), chatpate, chowmein, etc. They’re so good. Nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed the video! :)
1st dish masu ra saag = meat and greens 2nd dish it says khasi ko masu which means goat meat but it should be called tarkari which is vegetables khasi is goat Not complaining just wanted to clarify Im from nepal ❤ Love your channel Has got me through some tough times
@@globalklaus hello Nepali here. id have to travel to tht area to get some and even then its rare and not much for sale coz people of himalayan region have a difficult life so they dont harvest anything much to sell. however yak cheese is very commonly found, u could find yak jerky in speciality shops.
It's a shame , you guys have 1 mil subscribers and you made this video without much research.I am Nepali and We don't use papadum in every dish. Not every dish is curry based. @03:06 ' Khasi ko Masu' means 'Meat of Goat' but you have translated it to 'Vegetable'. Who recommended these curry dishes which are not typically Nepali ? You would have found many Nepali local dishes if you had done a little bit research. I am laughing so hard seeing papadum in every dish they got served. Seriously ?😂😂
Also, get a Chilli dish. Chicken Chilli or Paneer Chilli are my favorites. It's a beautiful combination of "Indian flavors" and "Chinese flavors." Perfectly Himalayan.
There's a restaurant near my home called "Nepali Chuulo" that advertises as selling Nepali and north Indian cuisine. I keep saying I'm going to go there and check it out, but still havne't done so. Time to get off my butt and actually do it, methinks.

Hi Irish people the dish shown in video is not authentic Nepali food. they are 100skm away from authentic food. you should try Mo:Mo (chicken, buffalo ) chhoila, Dalvat, Chhoila, Sukuti, etc etc
Nepalese buff meat is soft and delicious, a must try. It's made into Choyela, momo, sukuti, wo, chatamari, burgers, etc. Buff is Nepalese slang for water buffalo meat. Also try the goat and lamb stews, yak, chicken, fried fish. Nepalese cuisine is also inclusive of vegan options: dal bhat, alu tama bodi, buff-less chatamari and wo (vegetable toppings), ghiraula tarkari, qwati soup, gwarcha, kinema.
Just in passing, there are many different formulae for "garam masala". It simply means a mixture of spices. There are some basic ingredients like green cardamom, but there are as many recipes for garam or "curry powder" as there are cooks.
And a yak is an ox. I would have never stopped laughing had Dermot gotten a cup of tea with yak butter in it. Yak butter tea is apparently an acquired taste
@@greenmachine5600 himalayan area of nepal is bordered with the them so its only natural tht they share same culturewith people over time migrating back and forth.
As tea with liquid slightly rancid butter its horrible. But think salty soup, with cheese on top, and suddenly it makes sense and tastes OK, esp in a cold climate. I acquired the taste pretty easily!
A Yak is NOT an Ox....atleast not all yaks. Yak is just another type of bovine, like a cow, buffalo or bison. An Ox is a male cow, often castrated, that is used as a work animal. & On the topic of yak butter, I just happen to be cooking popcorn with Yak butter at the moment & I can confirm it is a bit of an acquired taste. It smells & tastes a bit gamey or musky.
“People must come to Ireland and absolutely hate us” As an American that spent 2 weeks in Ireland. Best food I’ve ever eaten in my life. It’s the quality of your food that is amazing. So much food in the US is processed or has additives or has been frozen. Especially when you don’t have much money to spend. I’d move to Ireland in a heartbeat if I could. Oh and don’t get me started on the seafood I had there… someone in Ireland, please adopt me!!
We need a part 2 of this !!!!!!!! All those dishes are best served with rice or naan or roti etc. You all must try MOMO (Nepalese Dumplings) !!!!. And god, there are so many varieties of Momo. Veg/chicken/buff(buffalo)/goat/pork either steamed/fried/ kothey(half steamed and half fried), chilli etc. Also other foods like chowmein (noodle), chatpate and pani puri(one of the best street foods), chattamari (one of the newari dishes) JUST TO NAME A FEW !!!! I love your channel. Dermot !!!!Hope you get to eat yak one day !!!! Love you guys
Cooking tip for anyone trying to replicate some of these dishes - if you're using cashews in cooking, use raw cashews, not roasted. Raw cashews are naturally tender, have a meat-like texture and pick up spices better.
@Saqua2289 I learned it from Chef Stacey, owner/head chef at Simply Pure in Las Vegas (an incredible vegan restaurant). Raw cashews are also amazing in salads! Add whatever other ingredients you want, toss with a bit of vinaigrette and it's incredible! (Current favorite - grilled chicken or fish, mandarin oranges, cashews in salad with citrus vinaigrette. Fantastic.)
There's a YT channel called Spice Eats from Hyderabad. She uses raw cashews and raw almonds a lot in her recipes to give a smooth, creamy base to her sauces. No affiliation, but her recipes are simple and always work.
guys i love ya, and as a Nepali person abroad I'm stoked to see y'all react to Nepali food! but there's some smol errors with yalls descriptions (I assume the restaurant's description was a bit vague) Masu is meat, so Masu ra saag is meat with some spinach (so chicken with spinach) and Khasi ko Masu is not veg, but goat meat Khasi being goat, masu being meat. The restaurant might have messed up on that one Also Prawn is not a normal food in Nepal at all, so that was some sort of fusion food. Next time (if you ever do it again) I'd really recommend getting a Nepali khana set (which would basically be a curry with rice and dal, and buncha other sides), some Momos, maybe chowmein, and some other "snacky" foods, since those would be more authentic than this was Love yall to bits, and thanks once again
My Nicole crush intensifies every episode. Her whole esthetic, vibe, hair, fashion, personality, smile, are all just so lovely. Le sigh… Le swoon… I wish for her to have all the joys that life can offer.
They mean the anonymous "curry" dish found on most Chinese takeaway menus in Europe. It uses cheap "curry powder" which is always heavy on fennel, coriander and a Turmeric substitute called E-102. One bite tells you it's there because it's kind of bitter. E-102 gives me a headache.
@@annainspain5176 I know what they mean, but the only "curry" you might find on an American Chinese restaurant is a variation of chop suey or chow mein that's seasoned with Japanese curry roux bricks, in my experience.
3:09 Guys, as a lifelong Nepalese and a massive fan of this channel, I would like to let you guys know that "Khasi ko maasu" literally translates to "Goat meat" or "mutton".
If that's the food from the napelese restaurant in temple bar dublin, it's amazing, more like traditional Indian cuisine than any Indian restaurant and takeaway in ireland. 😊
@@ashleybeck607The Nepali national who commented above would appear to disagree with that. But they were just born and raised there, what do they know?😂
It's a shame , you guys have 1 mil sunscribers and you made this video without much research. First mistake @03:06 Khasi ko Masu means Meat of Goat but you have written Vegetable.
Growing up I didn’t know what shrimp is except we have this thing called jhinge macha which translates housefly fish.basically its dried small prawns I guess.
As a Nepalese, I am so happy to have a little representation of our culture I’ve been watching this channel for 3-4 years.Never expected to see my country food. 🥰 P.S. the second food said Khasi ko Masu which means Goat meat but it was Vegetables which is called Tarkari. Maybe a mistranslation.
Sorry.........but how can anyone NOT absolutely LOVE these people??? They just get more addictive and adorable every video they make!!! Makes me wish I waa a long lost Irish cousin!!!!
@@alisgray There is a freshwater prawn species that lives in Nepal but it is too small to be commercially viable. Nepal imports prawns from neighbouring countries, true.
its not. nepali here born and raised, lived here all my life. someones passed off indian food as nepali food, put up words like gurkha himalayan in front of it and tried to finesse anyone buying. none of these food would come to mind if i were to list off nepali food esp prawns, not in a million yrs.we are a landlocked coutry, we dont have sea food..and in the himalayan region it would be so cold no one would go fishing(and thts assuming fish and river creatures even survive the cold)
I'm just as surprised to read other Nepalese who say prawns is not normal in Nepal. Since when? I grew up my whole life eating prawns from the farmer's market in Nepal

Thank you all for the video. I am happy to say I have eaten these traditional dishes in restaurants and made all of these personally as well. Now the only thing is to actually see Nepal which is on my list.
Yak is only found in high altitude regions and it's meat isn't easily available/consumed in those places as well here in Nepal. You really have to go to mountains to try Yak meat.
Watching this from Nepal. Love this video. We've so many variety of food that the same food becomes a totally different food depending on the region. I've never tried prawn curry now i want to try it. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵❤️
Yak tastes a bit like American bison, but it's a much deeper red thanks to higher hemoglobin in yaks' blood cells. The animals, built for high-altitude environments with less oxygen, also have up to three more ribs and a larger lung capacity than cattle.
Hmmm not really Nepali food that I had and saw in Nepal, more like one from an English takeaway which is geared up for most people as its more like Indian as everyone knows what that is. Prawns are not a normal ingredient either as Nepal is land locked so the only prawns are bought in or fished in the lakes (if im right?) Dal Bhat Thakali, with all the extras such as achar, rayo ko saag, khasi ko masu, dal, bhat, and a few different veggie dishes. Jhol MoMo Bhutan Sel Roti with achar Sekuwa Chapate Chowmin Bara Just so many foods to be honest it’s amazing. Meats wise there’s goat, chicken, pork, buffalo, fish and prawns in certain areas. Also I’ve seen snails and field mice but that’s a traditional ethic food for Magar south west near Chitwan. ❤🇳🇵
I don't think there was any authentic Nepalese food except different versions of curries. The most popular foods in Nepal are momos, sekuwa, choila,Sel Roti.
Well Dermot, a friend of mine went to Tibet. He ended up in hospital with pulmonary edema from altitude sickness. That didn't really bother him. But, the one thing he complained about was the yak butter. He said it smelled horrible and tasted worse, and they put in everything, even the tea. Even talking about it later he would gag. So my guess is that you dodged a bullet.
Yaks are mountain auction they usually use as draft animals in Tibet and Nepal and Bhutan. they are from the area of the high hills the high mountains so they can work at high altitude and not fall off exhausted in like 5 minutes they use them to plow rice patties. I don't know if you want to eat it though I would not assume it to be very good tasting.
I can highly recommend Taste of Himalayas, in St. Charles, Illinois. It is a mix of Nepali and Indian food and it is the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life!
