The influences of neighboring countries and various ethnic groups of Nepal are evident here as well, and so you can find Tibetan shapale beside dahi puri from India.

The following menu is a combination of recipes of some of the most famous and popular dishes you can find on the streets of Kathmandu or Pokhara. Be prepared to put some work into it. Plan your time. Pay attention that some parts can be prepared in advance, so you don't have to leave everything to the last minute. If you plan to prepare chutneys for dahi puri by yourself, you can do it a few days in advance. Start with cooking potatoes, you will need for aloo chop and dahi puri, then cut and marinate the meat for sekuwa. Then prepare the dough and filling for shapale and fill them, afterwards prepare the mass for aloo chops, the puri and the dough and filling for yumary. Finally start deep frying everything that needs to be deep-fried, grill the sekuwa skewers, steam the yumari and prepare the chatamari. Namaste.
