Can you make this?
Dear Friends,
These are some delicious Tibetan favorites of many. What is wonderful is that they are vegetarian. So they taste good and harm no one. I am not very fond of cooking but I know many are. I wonder if there is anyone out there who can make these? They are delicious.
Please find below the list of recipes and followed by the snap shot of book:
- Milarepa’s nettle soup
- Pancakes with bean thread & vegetable fillings
- Sweet buttered rice (Tashi rice served for auspicious occasions)
- Caramel cheese pasta (Patsa maku)
- Tsering’s Caramel cheese pasta (another recipe from the book author Tsering)
- Sweet cheese dumplings (snack)
- Festive fried pastries (Kapseh)
- Extra special festive fried pastries (Sanga Paley)
- Roasted potato soup
- Roasted eggplant soup
Kapseh usually served during festivals and big pujas or anytime.
I do recommend this book. There are a lot more recipes and I’ve just listed a few here. You can do a search and find this book relatively easily like I did.

WOW!!! What a nice and delicious vegetarian recipes, this is a great news for vegetarians to add one with new food to try.
It is true that food is the most important thing in our daily consumption. Hence, due to desire and craving for better tastier nice good food, people target meat as part of dish in their meals other than vegetables.
Thank you for the sharing, this recipes ingredients looks simple and easily available in any supermarkets. I’m hoping to try out one of the recipe and taste the wonderful Tibetan dishes soon.

Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for sharing interesting recipes. The only Tibetan food I had eaten was at Kechara Oasis.
For a person who likes to cook, will always looking for new recipes. I have cooked the common cuisines which are Chinese, Indian, Western, Vietnamese and etc. Never in my mind wanted to cook Tibetan food but with this recipes I will try it and share with others for comment.
Hopefully, one day I have a chance to try the authentic Tibetan Food.
The Lhasa moon Tibetan Cookbook has many good recipes which look very tasty and it even has more information like about Milarepa and for the festive fried recipes.
This is a delicious way to learn and spread Tibetan culture combined with tasty and healthy vegetarian meals to do ourselves. I have never tried Tibetan cooking but this looks interesting and yummy.
Thank You for sharing,
Pastor Antoinette
What I find ‘interesting’ about food is how it is a record of the culture and history of the people. For example, many of the spices used in Tibetan cooking today arises as a result of the Tibetan exodus into India, as is their use of eggplant (as noted in the book) which doesn’t grow in Tibet. Likewise the tea so significant in Tibetan culture reflects their links with China.
But of all the Tibetan foods available, my favourite is still Tibetan monastic food. There’s nothing better than fresh Tibetan bread with hot butter tea, and a smear of jam…simple and satisfying!
Thank you Rinpoche for all the nice recipes.
Thank You for sharing these recipes Rinpoche, they look really delicious and their names are quite unique I must say.The Roasted Potato sure sounds interesting, would love to try it out someday.
I remember when I was in Nepal, I had the best vege momos and it was my first time of eating momos too, I remembered finishing that one whole plate of momos. Too bad they don’t have it here in Malaysia. ever since I was back in Malaysia, I’ve been craving for it.
Momos are definitely not easy to make, to make a really good one requires a lot of patience and time. I know this is besides the point, but besides momos, Nepal has the best paneer dishes, everything about Nepal is beautiful. It is always good to consume something that doesn’t require killing, eat clean and be healthy.
Interesting recipes and sounds delicious and healthy too! Will be trying out these recipes when I get the chance.
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for sharing this awesome cook book and great recipes that do no involve killing of animals.
The names of the dishes themselves are already mouth watering and savoury to thoughts.
Thank you.
Most people think it’s hard to become vegetarian but actually when you think about it… its just to fill u up during that moment, and then it “exits” your body. I used to spend alot of my time, dining and following the ‘it’ restaurants, but realised that none of that brought any benefit in my life till today. Besides enjoying the taste of the food just for that hour or two, it gets processed and comes out the same anyway; vegetable or meat.
Knowing how much the animals suffer because of our tastebuds, knowing how piglets lose their parents to end up as pork chops on our plates, I consciously made a choice to not eat meat. Most people would like to ignore the fact that animals suffer and not watch videos of abattoirs because they want to eat meat with a clear conscious… but knowing that killing is a part of your diet, are you able to still eat consciously?
Dear Rinpoche,
thank´s for sharing. I decided to stop eating meat, because of the animals. and now my “problem” is easier to solve!
Thank you so much. Can´t find better words right now.
Best wishes Jens
Thank you for your compassion in stopping to eat meat. It is not a great effort. Meat is not necessary for our diet and health. So you stopping to eat meat is a good example to your inner self and others. Movements and consciousness awareness starts with one person at a time. Thank you for starting. Tsem Rinpoche
Dear Rinpoche,
I have to say thank you again. Because sometimes when I think about my meal or I touched by desire I remember your kind words and can fix the situation. Thank you doesn´t describe what I like to say.
Jens
