What is Tibetan food

Tibet lies in the heart of Asia, sandwiched between the two Asian giants, India and China who have a very rich civilization and wide array of specialized cuisines. Like many aspects of Tibetan culture, these two very different cultural giants also influence Tibetan food. Yet, Tibetan food has maintained its unique identity and taste. Its subtle seasoning and liberal use of ginger and garlic mark authentic Tibetan food. Tibetan food is well known for its freshness, simplicity and inventiveness.

In Tibetan tradition, food assumes great significance and is an integral part of all religious rituals and celebrations. Tibetans believe food not only feeds the body but also nourishes the soul. Hence, utmost care and attention is given to all aspects of food preparation and delivery. Subtle seasonings are balanced with ginger and Emma, a peppercorn spice with special electric zing found only on the Tibetan plateau.
