Nepali pizza called chatamari is a beloved street food.

It is easy to see why. It has a perfectly crunchy pizza crust made of rice flour. The topping can be anything from vegetarian style just with onions, and tomatoes or often it is made with some type of minced meat like buffalo or chicken along with the onions.

It also is topped with some cheese and an egg.

The chatamari is cooked on the stove top all at once and only takes a quick 7-8 minutes.

I think this could be the new rage. The mixture that is put on top of the pizza is seasoned with all those delicious Nepalese spices including some red chili powder and a fresh chili for a touch of heat.

A keeper indeed!
