Timur Achar
The numbing one.
Timur is Nepal's answer to Sichuan pepper. It doesn't just burn, it buzzes. We pair it with tomato and a short list of hill spices so the numbing citrus note comes through instead of getting buried. Put it on literally anything fried.

The Story Behind It
Ask ten people in Kathmandu what timur achar should taste like and you'll get ten answers. This is ours: heavier on timur than most, lighter on chili.

Different, in a good way
Never had anything like this before. The numbing thing is strange for the first bite, then you get it.

More timur than usual, and I love that
Most versions go heavy on chili and light on timur. This one has the ratio right.
