Newa cuisine/नेवा: नसा (also referred to as Newari cuisine) is a subset of Nepalese cuisine that has developed over centuries among the Newars of the Nepal Mandala region in Nepal. Newa cuisine is more elaborate than most Nepalese cuisines because the Kathmandu Valley has exceptionally fertile alluvial soil and enough wealthy households to make growing produce more profitable than cultivating rice and other staples.

Food is an integral part of the Newar culture. Dishes served during feasts and festivals have symbolic significance. (Full article...)
