Grapefruit Salad (Bhogate Sadheko)
Bhogate Sadheko is a traditional Nepali fruit salad made from juicy grapefruit or pomelo segments mixed with mustard oil, salt, sugar, toasted sesame seeds and sometimes fenugreek seeds (methi). It’s a perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter — often served during festivals like Mha Puja and Tihar, especially in Newar communities.
