Masaura, or masyaura, are fermented, sun-dried vegetable balls made with a combination of one or several minced vegetables, together with black lentils. They originate in Nepal and are made by the Nepali diaspora throughout the world. The choice of vegetables is mostly taro, yam, and colocasia leaf. As finding fresh vegetables was difficult in earlier times, masaura become an alternative source of nutrition. [1] Masaura is fried in oil and made into a curry. [2]
