Chatamari — चतामरी
Cuisine: Nepali · Origin: Kathmandu Nepal
Chatamari is a traditional Nepali savory crepe originating from the Kathmandu Valley, made from a batter of rice flour, water, and spices. This thin, delicate pancake is cooked on a flat griddle or tawa until golden and crispy, then topped with a variety of ingredients including minced meat (chicken, buffalo, or pork), fresh vegetables like onions and cilantro, and a raw or lightly cooked egg in the center. The dish is often finished with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of chili powder. Chatamari is commonly served as a breakfast item or light meal, particularly popular in Newari cuisine. Its versatility allows for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian preparations, making it accessible to diverse palates. The name itself derives from 'chata' (umbrella) and 'mari' (bread), referencing its flat, circular shape. Often called 'Nepali pizza' by tourists, chatamari represents authentic street food culture and is a staple at local eateries and festivals throughout Nepal.
Standard serving: ~300 kcal (1 piece (200g), estimate)
