Mo:Mo- The most famous food in Capital of Nepal

By -



When we go visit to any of the restaurants in the town with our friends, one of the order has to be mo:mo.  Mo:mo is the most popular food in Kathmandu.  It is gaining popularity in other countries too where Nepalese people live. But the question arises what is mo;mo? It is called jiaozi in China and gyoza in Japan. Newar community, residing in valley, who still have trading practice with Tibet may have brought the technique of making momo from Tibet. Mo:mo is simply a type of dumpling filled either with meat or vegetables. It is cheap compared with other food and a plate of mo:mo is sufficient to make us full. The best part of it is that they are delicious.

 Nowadays, there are various varieties of mo:mo. Different materials could be used to prepare momo for instance mutton, chicken, cabbage,  paneer and so on. Some restaurants have started using cheese and mushroom fillings too. When the tomato pickle with momo spices are added, then your taste buds will truly rejoice. The open momo is also very popular among residents of Kathmandu city which is served with many varieties of delicious pickles.

They simply can be fried after being stuffed with ingredients or could be steamed or  some sauce could be sprayed with some green vegetables along with onions which is called chilly momo. Some restaurants serve jhol mo;mo which means dumplings are dipped into the soup which are really delicious. Some restaurants add peanuts to the usual ingredients which elevates the taste of the momos.

There is no doubt that the food is being popular in other parts of Nepal too. However Kathmandu remains the place where the highest number of plates of mo;mo are sold in the nation. Various restaurants are trying to bring new taste and new designs to mo;mo. Some restaurants provide you a bowl of soup along with momo while there is a restaurant which will provide you pasta along with momo. Students in schools and colleges prefer mo;mos over any other food in snacks. It can be prepared at home too. Restaurants in Kathmandu have accepted it to be the most selling fast food. It tastes best when served and eaten hot. It is a great food specially when the season is winter or monsoon. In summer the combination of momo with some sips of cold drinks would be nice combination.
