Kwātī (Newar: क्वाती (where क्वा (kwā) = 'hot' and ती (tī) = 'soup'); Nepali: क्वाँटी) is a mixed soup of nine types of sprouted beans. It is a traditional Newari dish consumed on the festival of Guni Punhi, the full moon day of Gunlā which is the tenth month in the Nepal Era lunar calendar. It is also known and widely consumed as gedagudi (Maithili: गेडागुडी) in the Mithila region of Nepal, historically aligned down to Kingdom of Nepali people.
