Kheer
Kheer, also known as rice pudding, is a beloved dessert in Nepalese cuisine that holds great cultural and religious significance. On the 15th of the Nepali month of Shrawan, a day is marked as “Kheer Khane Din” in the Nepali calendar, where families prepare and offer kheer to the deities before enjoying the sweet delicacy themselves.

Yam, a staple in Nepalese cuisine, holds a special place in Nepalese festivals and rituals.
