About Juju Dhau

Juju Dhau โ€” the "king of yoghurts" โ€” is Bhaktapur's legendary sweetened curd, set in shallow clay pots that give it a creamy top layer and a faint earthy aroma. Made from buffalo milk boiled down until thick, sweetened and cultured overnight, it is served at Newari feasts and is practically synonymous with Bhaktapur itself. Nepali sweet shops and restaurants in Australia increasingly offer juju dhau-style yoghurt made locally.

What to ask before ordering

Ask how Juju Dhau is prepared, what accompaniments are included, and whether advance ordering is recommended for groups.
