TSAMPA
Tsampa is the staple food of Tibetans and often called as the National food of Tibet. It is the end result of organic roasted barley ground into fine and coarse flour. Tsampa is a very simple and easy to prepare food widely known as convenience food used at home and also by the travelers in Tibet. It is easy to carry and easy to prepare. Travelers in Tibet always have a pouch of Tsampa tugged to their luggage for an easy and readily available meal.Tsampa mixed with yak butter, dried powdered cheese and tea makes for a refreshing and energetic food. Sportsmen in Tibet consider Tsampa as an energy booster minus the harmful chemicals. Ground roasted barley is easily digestible and is readily absorbable by the body. Apart form that, Tibetans traditionally use Tsampa for various religious rituals and offering purposes.
Tibetantsampa.com offers two different kinds of Tsampa for your eating pleasure. Regular Tsampa and Amdo Tsampa. Regular Tsampa is very fine and smooth when made into a cereal.

@Huzar1683 Why not start with barley flour, which you should be able to buy in any health food store. Barley flour, Tibetan tea, cheese, butter. That's all. Of course, you can't really get Tibetan tea in the US -- because you can't get yak butter, but you can use regular cow butter.

Legend... Now all i have to do is find out how to make Tsampa or where to get some from... perhaps my local Tibetan grocery shop....
