Newar cuisine

Newa cuisine/नेवा: नसा (also referred to as Newari cuisine) is a subset of Nepalese cuisine that has developed over centuries among the Newars of the Nepal Mandala region in Nepal. Newa cuisine is more elaborate than most Nepalese cuisines because the Kathmandu Valley has exceptionally fertile alluvial soil and enough wealthy households to make growing produce more profitable than cultivating rice and other staples.

Food is an integral part of the Newar culture. Dishes served during feasts and festivals have symbolic significance.

Newa cuisine is recognized as one of the oldest food cultures in South Asia. Daily meals in Newa cuisine are commonly referred to as "Jā Neu/जा नेउ" or "Newa Thali" (also known as "Newa Jā Bhu/जा भु"). These meals typically consist of Taichin rice, lentil soup, a variety of green vegetables, assorted vegetable dishes, and meat items, accompanied by pickles. Traditionally, he morning meal is known as "Jyaana/ज्या:न," the afternoon meal is called "Baji/ बजी," and the evening meal is referred to as "Beli/बेली."
