The Soul of Nepali Heritage Curries
Cowpeas (बोडी)
Cowpeas (Bodi), recognized by their creamy white seed and distinct dark eye, hold a special place in the traditional Nepali kitchen. Cultivated across the hills and valleys of Nepal, they are celebrated for their earthy, nutty sweetness and tender texture.
Our Cowpeas are carefully harvested, sun-dried, and hand-cleaned without any chemical polish. They are the irreplaceable star of Nepal’s famous bamboo-shoot curry (Aloo-Tama-Bodi) and play a central role in celebratory festival soups.
