Tibetan cuisine includes the culinary traditions and practices of Tibet and its peoples, many of whom reside in India and Nepal.
It is known for its use of noodles, goat, yak, mutton, dumplings, cheese (often from yak or goat milk), butter (also from animals adapted to the Tibetan climate) and soups.
[1] Since only a few crops grow at such high altitudes, many features of Tibetan cuisine are imported, such as tea, rice and others.
Flour milled from roasted barley, called tsampa, is the staple food of Tibet.
Meat dishes are likely to be yak, goat, or mutton, often dried, or cooked into a spicy stew with potatoes.
