At the center, there is a mound of beaten rice (chiura) topped with peanuts and flattened rice flakes, giving a crunchy texture. On the right side of the plate are steamed momos (dumplings) with soft wrappers neatly folded. In the middle, a small bowl holds a thick, yellow lentil or peanut-based sauce (achar/chutney) for dipping. To the left side, fresh salad slices of cucumber, carrot, and lettuce add color and freshness. At the back, there is a serving of spicy fried meat (likely chicken or buffalo) garnished with onions and coriander leaves, giving a rich, glossy, and flavorful appearance.
