Culture & customs
Dal bhat (lentil soup, rice, vegetable curry and pickle) is eaten twice a day in most households. Refills are free, and the joke is “dal bhat power, 24 hour”.
Eat with your right hand only. The idea of jutho applies here too: food touched by someone else’s mouth is impure, so never share from your plate.
