Hi

Why not get yourself a copy of the Gurkha Recipe Book from the Gurkha Museum, ?3.30 plus P&P, They also sell spice mixes. Or find a copy of JSP 404 as it also contains Malay recipes.

I love nepalese food - at least the UK version, having never been there yet.

The Great Nepalese Tandoori on Eversholt Street on the eastern side of Euston Station is fantastic. A very nice twist on BIR flavours. Their pickled vegetable side dish is to die for. No website though, unfortunately.

That part of London - from there to roughly the BT tower has some really interesting regional sub-continental restaurants.

I have said this before but the variety of the BIR should have its own room. Pakistani, Punjabi, Nepalese, all have specific restaurant styles which are not the Bangladeshi mainstream.Gujerati food, South Indian vegetarian restaurant food, all should be celebrated here.

I went to a Nepalese restaurant in Edinburgh a while back but it seemed no more than a BIR with pics of Everest thrown in. Couldn't see anything different in the food.
