About Momo
Nepal Tourism Board’s heritage cookbook presents momo as a familiar Nepali dumpling, offered with several fillings. This rendition selects its minced-chicken and spring-onion options, enclosed in an all-purpose-flour wrapper.
Onion, ginger-garlic paste, cumin and garam masala season the filling. The dumplings are steamed in oiled steamer layers, preserving the cookbook’s main preparation rather than its separately mentioned fried or soup variations.
The accompanying Timmure Golbhenda sauce combines grilled tomato and green chilli with garlic, timmur, turmeric and mustard oil. It is the cookbook’s named tomato-sauce option, kept distinct from the alternative peanut-coriander sauce.
