Chunla

Chunla is a traditional meat dish originating from the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. The meat (usually water buffalo's meat) is finely chopped with a meat grinder or a knife. The spices are kneaded into the meat, and it's then fried in oil and simmered in water.

Once done, the meat is topped with a combination of fenugreek seeds and oil. Chunla can also be shaped into meatballs or meat patties for certain ceremonies. The meat is also often used as a filling for momos or a topping for rice flour pancakes known as chatanmari.
