Dal bhat is one of the central daily meals of Nepal. It usually combines rice, lentil soup, vegetables, pickles, and sometimes meat or curd depending on region, household, and occasion.
Dal bhat is practical, filling, adaptable, and closely tied to household eating patterns across Nepal.
The meal changes by geography. Hill, Terai, mountain, urban, and trekking settings use different vegetables, pickles, grains, and side dishes.
