AvailableHard, glazed, barely sweet. Break it into hot tea — that is how it is meant to be eaten.
Only 16 leftSteamed parcels of chaku and sesame. Shaped by hand, so never very many.
Only 20 leftMilk barfi, coconut and pista, cut small. The box people take to somebody’s house.
Up to 6 items per order.
Sold by Sarita Shrestha (example seller). Your order is placed with them, and your payment goes straight to their own account — it never passes through us.
- CollectionNothing to collect — this is an example shop: no address, and nobody frying on Saturday morning. What follows is what a real festival kitchen puts in this box, and what its buyers are told. Open yours, free, at www.martnepali.com/organizers. Collect Saturday between 11am and 4pm from Bockenheim, Frankfurt — the address goes out with your order. Sel roti is fried Saturday morning, so Saturday collection means it is still warm. Sunday collection is possible but you're eating it a day old, and I'd rather tell you that now than have you find out. Big festival orders (Dashain, Tihar, Yomari Punhi) — message me a week ahead and I'll plan the batch around you.

The story
About this shop
An example shop — nothing is being fried. There is no Saturday batch, no clay pots and nobody to collect from, and checkout will refuse an order. It sits here to show a festival kitchen what its own page would look like: your sel roti, your Dashain and Tihar orders, your collection times, on a shop that is free and set up in an afternoon at www.martnepali.com/organizers. Everything below is written the way a real one would write it — that is what there is to look at. Festival sweets, made to order, in the quantities a family actually eats. Sel roti is rice-flour batter — soaked, ground, sweetened lightly, rested overnight — piped into hot ghee in a ring. Crisp at the edge, soft in the middle, and honest: it is best on the day it is fried and second-best warmed in a dry pan the next morning. Do not microwave it. Juju dhau, "the king of yoghurts", is set in the clay pot it comes in, the way it is done in Bhaktapur. The clay pulls water out through the wall, so it sets thick enough to stand a spoon in and tastes faintly of the pot. Please keep the pot — bring it back and there is a euro off the next one. Lakhamari is the hard, glazed Newari bread-sweet that belongs at weddings and at Mha Puja: not very sweet, meant to be broken and dipped in tea. Yomari appears in the weeks around Yomari Punhi — steamed rice-flour parcels of chaku and sesame, and they are shaped by hand, which is why the number is small. I fry and steam on Fridays and Saturdays, so order by Thursday evening if you want it for the weekend. Everything here has ghee in it. Say the word and I'll do a batch in oil instead.
