    Lina Gautam's Spicy Lamb Salad (Choila)

    Lina Gautam's Spicy Lamb Salad (Choila)

    This is a very popular dish in Monty's of Kathmandu and all over Nepal. The dish originated in the Kathmandu Valley around the capital city in the centre of Nepal. Choila is traditionally eaten with flat or puffed rice and is served at roadside bars in Kathmandu with rakshi (homemade spirit not unlike grappa). In Nepal, this is usually made with buffalo or goat. The Nepalese also love their whiskey and beer, and wine is growing in popularity now also. We almost never drink alcohol without food and a plate of choila, kachela (Nepalese lamb tartare) or spiced nuts.
