"Losar is one of the major festivals of the Tibetan Buddhists. The word Losar has been derived from two Tibetan words, ‘lo’ meaning ‘new’ and ‘sar’ meaning ‘year’. This rich and colorful festival is celebrated across two weeks, with the first three days being the most significant. The celebrations are marked with high spirits and merry making. People dress up in their best new clothes and attend religious services in the monasteries all across Nepal. Feasting also forms one of the major sources for mingling with friends, relatives and loved ones. Tibetan potato curry, known as xiangzhai in Tibetan language, is one of the traditional delicacies prepared on Losar. This dish is consumed on the evening of the first day of Losar. Read on to find the recipe of making Tibetan potato curry." www.iloveindia.com
