NEPALI BARA
This is a classic Nepali appetizer consisting of spiced lentil patties cooked in a thick-bottomed pan or tawa. Any combination of minced meat or vegetables can be added to flavour these delicious lentil patties.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, soak the lentils overnight. Next day, rinse the soaked lentils thoroughly. If no outer skin of the lentils is desired, you can rub the soaked lentils between your palms and the outer skin will wash off.
- Transfer the washed lentils to a large blender, add a small amount of water, and blend it into a thick paste.
- Transfer the lentil mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the oil, minced garlic, ginger and green chilies. Add turmeric, asafoetida, and salt and pepper. Add the beaten eggs and ground meat. Combine the lentil mixture thoroughly. At this point, it is better to store the lentil mixture in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow for the flavours to fuse.
- For cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick, thick-bottomed pan or tawa under medium heat. Pour a half cup of the lentil mixture onto the pan and gently spread the mixture into the shape of a mini-pancake. Repeat with other patties, ensuring to not overcrowd the pan so that you can turn over the patties more easily.
- Cook the patties on one side until the edges have crisped up and the patties themselves have attained a golden brown colour. Turn the patties over onto the other side and cook until the patties have cooked and are golden brown. You can use paper towel to remove any excess oil if required.
- Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot with mango chutney or any other condiment.
- It is also common to add an egg topping or a minced meat topping or whatever toppings you desire.
- For convenience, an alternative to cooking your baras in a pan is using a waffle machine. For this, heat up your waffle machine and using oil spray coat the top and bottom surfaces. Pour a half cup of the lentil mixture on the bottom surface, gently spread out the mixture, and close the lid to cook. Cook until the lentil patty is cooked and has attained a golden brown colour, approximately 5-7 minutes. Baking is another healthy way to cook baras.
CLASSIC NEPALI TAAS
Taas is a popular Nepali meat dish that originated in Chitwan of Southern Nepal. The boneless lamb slices are marinated in Nepali herbs and spices, and slowly cooked in oil in low heat in a large near-flat concave thick-bottomed pan called tawa, resulting in an assertively spiced crispy lamb preparation. Although lamb or mutton is the preferred meat in a traditional taas preparation, chicken or pork can also be used as a substitute.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the marinating ingredients. Add lamb slices and mix well.
- Reserve the mixture in a glassware container and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the marinated lamb mixture from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to cooking, to allow the marinated mixture to cool down to a room temperature.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large thick-bottomed frying pan (tawa) under medium heat.
- Add the marinated lamb mixture to the heated oil. Gently spread out the mixture about the pan and turn down the heat to low.
- Cook the lamb slices in oil by continuously stirring the mixture. Continue to cook until the lamb slices are fully cooked and have attained caramelization or crispiness (for about 30 minutes).
- When lamb slices are cooked, add the green onions and mix for a minute or two. Push the cooked lamb slices away from the oil toward the side of the pan to drain the excess oil.
- Place the mixture on a platter and garnish with the chopped cilantro.
- Serve hot with puffed rice or beaten rice, supplemented with fresh cucumber and carrot slices and hot pickled radish achar.
