Potato Pancake (Aloo Roti or Rikikur)
Rikikur (or Riki Kur) is a traditional savory potato pancake from the Sherpa community of Nepal. The name comes from the Sherpa words “riki” meaning potato and “kur” meaning bread or roti.
It is traditionally served with yack butter, somar (a pungent, spicy sauce made from fermented cream or buttermilk dregs) or served with a fresh sauce made from cheese (often serkam), spring onions, and green chilies.
