Sekuwa

Sekuwa is a cherished traditional dish from Nepal, renowned for its succulent roasted meat prepared over a natural wood fire. What distinguishes sekuwa is its unique marination process. The raw meat—whether pork, lamb, goat, chicken, or a combination thereof—is immersed in a blend of natural herbs, spices, and other aromatic ingredients before roasting. This marination technique imparts a rich and exquisite flavor to the meat.

In Nepal, sekuwa enjoys immense popularity, particularly in areas such as Dharan and Kathmandu. Notably, Dharan and Tarahara, two small towns in the Sunsari District of Koshi State in Eastern Nepal, are often celebrated as the sekuwa capitals of the country. For any sekuwa enthusiast visiting Nepal, these towns are a culinary pilgrimage you can't afford to miss!
