Newari Chataamari

Chatamari is a very popular Newari dish in Nepal. I was watching a documentary where they were showing Kathmandu and at the same time were describing foods available there. Chatamari was one of them! I was kinda hesitant to attempt at first but then I decided to give it a try. And turns out very well.

Rice flour – 1 cup

All purpose flour – ½ cup

Ground chicken – 1 cup

Onion – 1

Spring onion – 10

Coriander leaves – ½ cup

Red chilli powder – 1 -1/2 teaspoon

Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon

Coriander powder – 1 teaspoon

Eggs - 5

In a separate bowl, add 1 cup ground chicken, 1 chopped onion, 1o chopped spring onion, ½ cup chopped coriander leaves, 1 – ½ teaspoon red chilli powder, ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder and required salt and mix it all together.

















Heat a pan and add 1 teaspoon oil. Spread the oil into all the space using a paper towel.













Now add 1 big spoon of batter and spread around pan gently in a circular motion.
