Churpi, the fermented cottage cheese is a chewy time pass. If you are eating it for the first time then you might find it tasteless but hold on, once you acquire the taste you will love it.

We love Gundruk as soup but we also enjoy it as a hot pickle. It is chewy & the smoky fermented flavor is just too good.

Sweet mango pickle reminds us of our childhood. The beginning of the mango season would always mean that it was time for something savory.

If you want to be adventurous and go for an absolutely exotic taste then try dry fish salsa (Sukuti ko Achar). We have acquired the taste and absolutely love this paste... can't promise you anything yet, but yeah this will be an experience that you'll remember.

Gundruk soup is made of fermented green leaves/radish. It has a strong taste but many first timers also find it appealing. This soup also helps digestion.
