Master Momo Making: A Hands-On Nepali Culinary Class

from
$ 350.00

Momo isn’t just a dumpling; it’s a taste of tradition, a bite of history, and a journey through Nepal’s rich culinary heritage. Derived from the Newari word “Mome,” meaning to steam cook, momos have long been an integral part of Nepali culture. Their origins are steeped in mystery; some believe Newari traders brought the technique from Tibet, infusing it with local flavors like water buffalo meat, while others credit Tibetan immigrants for introducing the dish. Regardless of its lineage, momo has evolved to reflect Nepali tastes over time.

Imagine a soft all-purpose flour wrap, lovingly filled with savory ingredients and steamed to perfection for about 15 minutes. Momos are like little bundles of joy, offering a delightful symphony of flavors ranging from cheese and veggies to meats. Much like pizza is to Italy, momo is to Nepal – an inseparable part of its identity. As Nepalese cuisine gains global recognition, momos have become ambassadors of Nepali food, featured in renowned food channels and blogs worldwide.

Why is momo so beloved? For one, it’s affordable, with a plate of ten pieces costing as little as $1.50 in local eateries and less than $10 in restaurants. Plus, it’s a guilt-free indulgence, made with fresh ingredients like sesame, peanuts, tomatoes, coriander, chilies, onions, garlic, and lemon. Momo isn’t just food; it’s a cultural experience, especially when paired with chutney or achar, enhancing its flavors to new heights.
