Haku Chhoyla
Haku Chhoyla is a traditional Newari dish from Nepal, featuring grilled buffalo meat marinated in a blend of spices and then mixed with mustard oil, garlic, ginger, and hot peppers. The 'haku' in the name refers to the black charring of the meat achieved by grilling it over an open fire, traditionally fueled by wheat straw, which imparts a unique smoky flavor. While buffalo meat is traditional, chicken, mutton, or duck are often used as alternatives.
