Dont give upp...dal bhat tarkari is Nepali Food... Keep on fighting untill he agrees its nepali food..

All i know is dal ,bhat ,tarkari is nepali food and no one else has combination of that food with same taste as we doo...they might eat similar food with different taste...

First, Rice is major food for all asian country except indians who enjoy roti..(so it is not indian food)

Dal, is soup to mix with bhat for nepalese whereas..indians has thick dal and is more like tarkari ....

i dnt knw if indian calls it tarkari but everybody else in the world eat similar vegetables/curry like nepalese.that dont mean everyone in this world are eating indian food.

..plus indians tarkari are too hot its more khursani than tarkari
