Mass Pidaloo Masyaura (Dried Lentils and Taro)

Vajra Nepali Maas and Pidaloo (Taro) Masyaura is a traditional fermented and sun-dried food made by combining mashed taro root (Pidaloo) with ground black lentils (Urad dal) and spices. Shaped into small dumpling-like clusters, these are left to dry under the sun until they become hard and shelf-stable. Once dried, Masyaura is stored and later cooked into flavorful curries or stir-fries, often paired with potatoes or seasonal vegetables. Deeply rooted in rural kitchens, Pidaloo Masyaura is both a culinary tradition and a nostalgic comfort food in many Nepali households.
