Haku choila is a traditional meat dish originating from Nepal. This is one of the most well-known dishes of the Newar community, and it's usually made with a combination of buffalo meat, scallions, garlic, ginger, hot peppers, mustard oil, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, salt, and wheat straw.

The meat is cut into long strips, roasted over an open fire, chopped into chunks, then mixed with the rest of the ingredients and served hot. When prepared traditionally, the fire must be fueled by wheat straw, as the smoke will make the meat more tender.

Nowadays, chicken, mutton, and duck meat can replace the buffalo meat, but those versions of haku choila are not considered traditional.
