Yummy Momo Zindagi c(:

A rainy day, cool weather, and cozy time for yourself. What comes in your mind? Hmmmm Coffee..!!! Wine !!! Or anything hot?

What!!! Momo! Oh, Great...I was thinking the same.

What would be better than some plates of hot Dumplings or Momos to pamper yourself according to your choice?

Kids love it, youth go crazy for it, and an old man enjoys it. Mostly a first choice and no one would like to miss it. From the street foods to biggest restaurants they serve it.  No matter, different in shapes, different in the way it is cooked but, no one wants to miss it.

A Chinese/ Tibetan dish, everyone go crazy for, dish no one can say NO.

You eat different food at different times, but it's a dish, u can have at anytime and everytime. It is delicious and makes you full for your lunch, dinner or snacks. I would rather call it something that taste better than any snacks on any day.

Basically the meat filled and vegetable filled dumplings can be found according to the choice of the consumer, but both the types have been taken as a very common food. Hot dumplings served with some spicy chutney.

Doesn’t it sound good?

Steamed, Fried, Grilled or kothey, covered with flour cover and filled with buff, pork, or vegetables, I have loved each bit until today. No matter what function you are celebrating, but you never want to miss it. We catch up with friends after your long day getting pissed off at work, enjoy some plates with chit-chats and you get relief.

Momo is a well known cuisine in various countries but is most popular among Nepalis, Chinese and Indians and other south Asian countries.

Nepalis people living abroad in various countries are fond of eating momos and most of the Nepali run restaurants in different countries offer Momos in their menu. It is known in different ways in different countries but the origin come from Han China.

I remember the price of momo in normal places, which served only momo, used to be Rs. 10 per plate, that’s ages back by now. They used to call it MOMO –CHA. They used to serve with a really thin liquid soup. As the time changed, I have experienced the taste of different types of momos in Nepal.

At home, you bring it home packed from somewhere or make it at home; you get an opportunity  to share some splendid moments with your family. Momo making at home can be fun if all the family members are around and task is divided among family members.

Every year, several occasions come when you get to experience taste of varieties of foods. Especially in newar community you get to eat different types of stuffs from hot to sour. But for me Momo has always been a choice. Making momos at my home has always been a part of my interest, no matter its birthday celebration or just gathering. Its full of excitement as Momo has always been my favorite.

Mom mixes Kima, finely chopped buff with different masalas, Aunt makes the dough ready, I make the round sheets, while the other men makes different types of momo. The pickle, which is a must, is made out of some soya bean , tomato and spices.

It starts with some steamed momo and end up with kothey.  The best part is, we share plates, and we do not eat in individual plates.




My tongue is already watering thinking about momo. I just wanna have a quick bite. Isn't it yummy???
