The Pride of Karnali
Authentic Jumli Mix Simi Dal (जुम्ली मिक्स सिमी दाल)
Grown at elevations exceeding 2,400 meters in the Jumla Valley, Jumli Simi is globally recognized by culinary connoisseurs as one of the world’s most delicious mountain pulses. The harsh mountain climate and cold glacial meltwaters cause these heirloom beans to develop high starch-to-protein density and thick, nutrient-rich skins.
Our Jumli Mix Simi Dal is a celebration of biodiversity, blending various native bean colors—black, speckled, red, and cream—that melt into an incomparably thick, buttery, and velvety broth.
