Madhikarmi JuJu Dhau Center — Restaurant in Bhaktapur Municipality

A delicacy of Bhaktapur, Juju Dhau is a magical yogurt custard that Madhikarmi is renowned for . Rather than selling the usual “king curd” brands, Madhikarmi makes its own fresh curd. The preparation of the custard is incredibly intensive, involving a days’ long preparation of fresh boiled buffalo milk in special clay pots (kataura ) , which are subsequently wrapped in rice husks. The kataura are known to facilitate evaporation, culminating in the lightest yet creamiest yogurt imaginable……..ethereally smooth and subtly sweet with hints...

Its a small and clean shop that serves sweets and juju dhau. It was a very old women who served the curd. They have made it and kept it in freezer so that it can be bought any time. Sweetness is medium only, not very high. With a layer of butter on top. It costs only 50 NRS and is a must try item...

Friend recommended this shop, their solid yogurt taste so much better than the ones we had in lunch. Sister said there is a hint of masala in it. Tried their local chocolate as well, too...
