Bara is a delightful Newari food item that is made specially during Dashain by the Newar community. It can be enjoyed on regular days during lunch and breakfast.
To prepare Bara, you have to soak the black gram overnight.
The next day, take out the black cover of the black gram and grind it into a thick paste.
Alternatively, you can buy the flour from the market to avoid the hassle.
Add water to the flour to make a thick paste.
Mix salt and ginger paste into it and let it sit for half an hour.
Then, heat a pan at medium heat.
Take a scoop of the paste and spread it slowly on the pan in a circular motion.
Do not make it too thin or too thick.
Now, put a few drops of oil around the bara and let it cook for a minute.
Then, flip the bara and add a few drops of oil.
After a minute of cooking, the bara is ready to be served. Enjoy it with aalu achar to enhance the taste.
