Buff Choila
Buff Choila is a traditional Nepali delicacy made with tender pieces of buffalo (buff) meat that are marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and mustard oil. The meat is cooked until perfectly tender, then mixed with fresh ingredients like chopped onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, turmeric, cumin, and timur (Sichuan pepper) to give it a distinct spicy and tangy flavor. Sometimes, it's grilled or lightly smoked to add a smoky aroma. Buff Choila is typically served as an appetizer or side dish, often paired with beaten rice (chiura) or other Nepali staples. Loved for its bold, spicy, and smoky taste, Buff Choila is a favorite at gatherings and festivals across Nepal.
