Introduction
Lākhāmari  is a type of sweet of Newars. It is made
of flour, sugar, butter and other ingredients. It can be
made in different shapes and are named differently
depending upon the shapes. It is customarily given to
guests of marriage ceremony in some Newar
subculture. Prior to marriage, the groom has to provide
'lakhamari's to the bride's family, which they will send
along with the invitation card for marriage. However,
lakhamaris will only be sent to close relatives.
Lakhamari can be stored in dry for many days.
Ingredients
1 kg Taichin rice flour (easily available in the markets
around Kathmandu)
400 gm ghee or clarified butter
½ kg maasko daal (black lentil)
Chasni (liquefied sugar) as required
Oil for deep frying
Water as required
Methods
Soak the rice grains in water whole day and then, drain
the water and let it dry for the overnight. Grind it the
next day. Soak and dry the black lentil in similar way and
wash it properly removing its cover before grinding it.
Mix the lentil into a little water to form a paste. Mix the
rice flour, lentil paste and the clarified butter thoroughly
stirring it. When the paste becomes soft, put it into a
clean cloth piece with holes in it. Now oil in a pan (tai)
and put the paste using the clothes with hole.
Methods
Zigzag it to give interesting shapes and designs. When
it comes to a shape, transfer it into a kadai and deep fry
until it turns light brown. Now, in another pan, heat
the sugar into chasni (liquid) and brush
the chasni to Lakhamari like polishing a shoe. When
done, leave it for about few minutes. Your Lakamari is
ready to be served instantly or store in an airtight
container for later use.
