A beloved delicacy from the heart of Newar culture, Batamas is a spicy, tangy soybean pickle that captures the essence of traditional Nepali flavors. Each bite brings a burst of warmth from roasted soybeans, harmoniously mixed with mustard oil, ginger, garlic, green chilies, turmeric, and local spices. It’s a timeless “Gaon ko Koseli” – a treasured gift from the village – reminding you of home-cooked meals, festive gatherings, and the rich heritage of the Kathmandu Valley. Perfect as a side dish or a snack, Batamas pairs beautifully with beaten rice (chiura), sel roti, or even your everyday meal. Taste the tradition. Savor the soul of Newar cuisine.
