About

Jaaulo is a one-dish meal of rice and two different variety of daals, considered a soothing comfort food in Nepal. This version is spicier and is enhanced with herbs and a variety of vegetables to round out the flavor. A mild version, given to infants and people suffering from stomach pain or other digestive disorders, was served for breakfast in my home growing up.
