Hot take: Nepalese food is its own thing and should be appreciated as such. Sure, there are similarities, but every cuisine has its own magic!
Nepalese cuisine has its own unique flavors and ingredients, but it shares some similarities with Indian cuisine, particularly in the use of spices and staples like rice and lentils. Don't miss out on trying dal bhat, which is a staple meal in Nepal.
Having lived in both India and Nepal, I can tell you the cuisines are cousins! Nepalese food has more Tibetan influences and often uses less oil and dairy.
