In our quest to taste the main dishes of different ethnic groups in Nepal, we hunted for Limbu food in Kathmandu.
There are more than 120 ethnic groups in Nepal. Each of these ethnic groups have their own native cuisine. After tasting Tharu food, we absolutely wanted to try the rare foods of the Limbus.
But who are the Limbus?
The Limbus are an ethnic group native to the Himalayan and hilly parts of Eastern Nepal. They were known as silk traders.
We also learnt that alcohol, especially Tongba, is religiously important in the Limbu culture.
So, what did we eat and drink?
- Tongba, a traditional fermented millet alcoholic drink of the Limbus,
- Sargyemba / Sargemba, pork blood sausage mixed with spices, rice and yangben (wild edible lichen),
- Limbu Khana Set, consisting of Daal, Bhat, Tarkari, Pork curry and Kinema,
- Pork sekuwa, also known as Nepali Pork BBQ, Bungurko Sekuwa.
All in all, it was a very nice ethnic food experience. I truly loved the Tongba and Sargemba. The Limbu Khana set was also very nice. The Pork sekuwa was okay but had too much fat for me.
