The Nepali cuisine consists primarily of rice, wheat, corn lentils, fresh vegetables and meats. It is very simple and subtle in flavor and prepared by using flavoring ingredients such as garlic, ginger, black pepper, chilies, onions, cilantro turmeric, bay leaves and scallions. A typical Nepali meal would include an appetizer, a vegetable or lentil soup, two or more vegetables and meat preparations, and an achar or chutney, served with roti (flat wheat bread), steamed rice or rice pilaf, supplemented with a local beverage, such as yogurt drink (lassi), beer or liquor, and followed by a dessert and tea.
