peadi

Peadi refers to a specific type of traditional Nepali bread. It is a flatbread, often round in shape, that is typically cooked on a griddle or tawa. The dough for peadi is usually made from whole wheat flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of salt. It is a staple food in many parts of Nepal, particularly in rural areas, and is a common accompaniment to various Nepali dishes, including lentil soup (dal), curries, and pickles. The preparation is relatively simple, involving kneading the dough, shaping it into thin discs, and then cooking them until golden brown and slightly puffed. Peadi is known for its wholesome texture and slightly nutty flavor, deriving from the whole wheat flour. It is a versatile bread that can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature and is a significant part of the Nepali culinary heritage. Variations may exist in regional preparations, with some recipes incorporating minor additions or slight differences in cooking techniques, but the core essence of peadi remains a simple, nutritious, and satisfying flatbread.
