🇳🇵 Nepal recipe
Momos
Momos are the beloved dumplings of Nepal, introduced through ancient trade routes with Tibet and perfected in the streets of Kathmandu. These delicate parcels are filled with spiced meat or vegetables, carefully pleated by hand, and steamed until the thin dough turns translucent. Served with a fiery tomato-sesame achar, momos are Nepal's most iconic street food and the centerpiece of every gathering.
