Alu
Tama
Aloo
Tama (Alu Tama) simply means "Potato
Bamboo Shoots". It is a unique and classic Nepali
curry flavor dish. It is unique in the sense
that it is unlike any other Indian or South
Asian curry since they rarely use bamboo shoots.
Similarly, unlike other East Asian cuisine such
as Chinese that uses Bamboo shoots but do not
use curry spices.
