Momos

Momo is a sort of dumpling that is popular in Nepalese and Tibetan cuisines, as well as in the Indian states of Ladakh and Sikkim. It has evolved and expanded to numerous countries, which have altered and changed it to their liking.

The classic momo in Nepal is made with ground beef filling, however this has altered and grown more sophisticated in recent years. Momos may now be made with almost any mix of ground beef, veggies, tofu, paneer cheese, or a vegetable and meat combination. Momos are now given fancy names like meetho momo, swaadista momo, raseelo momo, Himalayan momo, and so on. Any sort of ground meat, such as goat, lamb, hog, water buffalo, yak, chicken, turkey, and marine food, can be used for filling, along with fresh herbs and spices. To offer a diverse flavor, two different types of meat and veggies are sometimes utilized. Traditionally, Nepalese prefer beef with a high fat content because it yields intensely flavorful, juicy momos. Because the tastiest momos are usually juicy, a little oil is occasionally added to the leanest varieties of ground beef to keep the filling wet. The vegetable filling can be made with any type of vegetable. The vegetables must be cut into very small pieces, and flavored with fresh herbs and spices and cooked lightly before being used as a filling.. If the filling mixture is too liquid, it will be difficult to close the dough wrappers because the filling will break apart. Potatoes and cabbage are a common vegetable pairing.
