Nepali food is on the world tour. It should be more inclusive as it accelerates the trip

Santosh Shah of Nepal, who ended up as the first runner-up of MasterChef UK in December 2020, won the programme’s rematch earlier this week. To win the feat, Shah prepared and served an 18-dish vegan feast including curried jackfruit, rice crackers, rice puri, smoked tomato and hemp seed chutneys, red yam, spiced potato and a lot more in the final. In a brief conversation with Onlinekhabar following the victory, Shah says he is hopeful that promoting Nepali food items across the world will earn him more awards in the future.

Perhaps that is why he is preparing for a new cookbook, Ayla , to offer the world in the next two months. Because the book will be in English with details of various food items from Nepal, he hopes the book will make more Nepali dishes known around the globe.
