Tiingilar

Tiingilar was an intensely spicy casserole made by members of the Mandalorian culture, using a blend of meat, vegetables, and potent spices. Tiingilar spices gave the dish a pungent scent, enough to burn an individual's nasal passages. This effect was known as hetikles, or "noseburn," when translated from the Mando'a language to Galactic Basic Standard. Prized by Mandalorians, it was one of four qualities sought after in Mandalorian cooking, and made tiingilar a favored dish of many Mandalorians.

Shortly after the Galactic Republic's transformation into the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY, a large bowl of tiingilar was served during a family dinner at the Skirata clan's Mandalore residence. The Jedi-turned-Mandalorian, Bardan Jusik, used the dish in a demonstration of casual Force usage for a young Venku Skirata, before the tiingilar was eventually eaten by the other individuals in attendance.
