Tibbetan bread

As the name suggests, Tibetan bread is a food of the Tibetan diaspora of Nepal. A minor variation named Gurung bread can be found in some areas, e.g.: Sarangkot. Its basically a flattened dough with three parallel slits cut in the middle deep fried in oil. The Gurung bread has two slits and a few herbs infused in the dough. The bread is usually eaten for breakfast with Su Ja, the butter tea. People eat food with high fat content to fight Himalayan cold, the Tibetan bread is no exception.
