🇳🇵 Nepal recipe
Yomari
Yomari is the crown jewel of Newari sweets, a fig-shaped steamed dumpling made from rice flour dough and filled with a warm, molten center of chaku (concentrated molasses) and sesame seeds. Prepared during the Yomari Punhi festival to celebrate the rice harvest, these dumplings demand skill and patience to shape correctly. The name combines the Newari words for 'loved' and 'bread,' reflecting the deep affection Nepalis hold for this treasured delicacy.
