Tibetan food is a reflection of the region’s wintry climes. Since produce is hard to cultivate and livestock is easily available, a typical platter features barley, dairy, and meat. Hardy vegetables like mustard, cabbage, turnips, and carrots might turn up in your meal. The cuisine champions noodles, stews, dumplings, cheese, and butter and is simple and warm. The flavours, meanwhile, mirror that of cuisines from the neighbouring regions of Bhutan, Ladakh, Sikkim, and Nepal, especially with the addition of spices like turmeric, black pepper, cumin, and more.
Tibetans, known for upholding “family-style” eating habits, also believe in generous portion sizes. Popular dishes include tingmo, thukpa, momos, and butter tea, which are the perfect accompaniment to chilly days. And considering how Bengaluru has breezy, often rainy weather throughout the year, most locals have a Tibetan restaurant they enjoy heading to for a comforting bite. We round up a few that you should hit up if you’re in the city.
