Kathmandu. It is said that food should be eaten not only for the taste of the tongue but also for physical health. Because food that is only sweet to the tongue does not always mean that it is good for health.
People often have the knowledge of which food has what effect or good on their body. However, they eat for taste and for the tongue. Therefore, in recent times, it seems that people have adopted a diet with a plan to eat which time by making a list of healthy and balanced foods rather than sweet.
TAG_OPEN_div_56 Some food in Nepal is also associated with rituals and cultures. Therefore, it has become a tradition to know what to eat in which festival or festival.
The older generation believes that the trend of traditional and local food dishes is decreasing due to the habit of eating only sweets of people, i.e., due to the arrival of sweeter dishes in the market. Senior Chef Govinda Nari Singh KC said that such traditional food of Nepal has become a tradition related to the time, weather and physical health of Nepal rather than for the taste of the tongue.
According to Nepali culture, meat, selroti, kheer, kwati, yam, gheechaku and other dishes are eaten by connecting them with Nepal’s traditions and culture. KC said that the time and season of all these meals is not related to the culture but to the weather and the health of the people in that season.TAG_OPEN_div_52
Meat is also one of the food that is associated with the festivals and traditions of Nepal. Dashain is considered to be the biggest festival of Nepal and meat is a special dish eaten during Dashain. It has also been in vogue for a long time.
Dashain is also considered as a festival of eating sweet, fine food, especially with relatives who have not met for a long time. Although in Nepal, food dishes are prioritized as soon as the festival is called and the combination of Dashain and meat is very old.
In this context, KC, one of the leading ‘executive’ chefs of Nepal, suggested that food should not only be a means of giving taste of the tongue and filling the stomach, but also as a means of taking the culture, tradition and identity of the country, food and tradition should be preserved.TAG_OPEN_div_46
He said, “Nepali food also highlights Nepal’s culture, hospitality and lifestyle. It is associated with various topics like characteristics, importance, taste, spices of Nepali food. Food is to give strength to the body, not to eat indigestion. Even if the food gives instant satisfaction, you should think about the effects of it on health while eating.TAG_OPEN_div_44 ”
} was especially related to meat and other dishes eaten during Dashain. He suggested that there are many dishes for non-vegetarians during Dashain, but for that, cooking skills are required.
Dashain meat is also associated with the art of cooking, Nepali taste and style. Most of our food is full of spices and grease. Although this has decreased due to the health consciousness seen in people in recent times, healthy spices and fat are also necessary for local food. While using these items, attention should be paid to the taste as well as human health. ”
{{TAG_OPEN_div_38} In the midst of the concern that the current young generation will not use Nepalese and Nepali flavored spices, the tongue needs sweetness in any way and in any way. KC, who has been playing with Nepali and foreign food and dishes for more than four decades as a Nepali chef for more than 25 years at Hotel Soaltee, said that the taste of Nepali traditional and local food is tastier and healthier than the food of the world.
He said that the use of pure raw mustard oil, ground garlic and ginger in a slab, pure ghee, cooking utensils and firewood make Nepali food delicious.TAG_OPEN_div_36
He suggests that it is better to keep the meat in the fridge and prepare it at the time of eating instead of taking out the roasted meat for several days during Dashain.TAG_OPEN_div_34
TAG_OPEN_div_32 In the past, the weather was often cold and there is no pollution like now, so there is less fear of germs, so the food used to be roasted and eaten later, but now this is not the case, he said.
He suggests that eating meat should not be eaten in such a way that it causes indigestion and along with it, vegetables, green vegetables and salad should be used in large quantities. Senior Chef KC also said that the use of dairy products while eating meat dishes does not match the ‘chemistry’ of the food. He said that the use of curd with meat is good. On this special occasion of Dashain festival, Chef KC suggests to eat healthy, clean and well-cooked meat dishes and pay attention to walking and physical exercise instead of enjoying vegetables and fruits at once.TAG_OPEN_div_30
