Описание: 🌾 Exploring the Traditional Winter Delicacy: Nishoshya ❄️
Dive into the heart of Dadeldhura, Nepal, where winter transforms life into a slower, cozier pace. Amidst the chilly season, locals prepare Nishoshya – a unique and culturally significant dish of the far-western region.

What is Nishoshya?
Nishoshya is a traditional delicacy made from:

Rice Flour (hand-pounded for enhanced flavor)
Ghee or Butter
Yogurt
Silk Cotton Tree Roots
Dates and Dry Fruits
Often gifted to married daughters during the month of Magh, this dish holds deep cultural value and can be stored for up to a week, making it both practical and delicious.

How is Nishoshya Prepared?
The preparation process is a labor of love, taking 2–3 hours to achieve perfection. Here's how we made it:

Pounding Rice: We used a traditional mortar and pestle for a richer taste, though flour from mills is an option.
Mixing Ingredients: 2 kg of rice flour was blended with 500 grams of ghee, 200 grams of dates, 2 kg of yogurt, and sweeteners like jaggery or sugar.
Cooking: Using banana leaves and a clay-lined pot, the mixture was poured in and cooked with hot embers placed above and below.
Checking Doneness: A skewer test ensured even cooking. After 2.5 hours, Nishoshya was ready!
What Makes Nishoshya Special?
Cooked with banana leaves and firewood embers for a traditional smoky flavor.
Pairs wonderfully with milk, honey, or can be enjoyed solo for its rich taste.
A dish that symbolizes love and heritage, connecting families across generations.
