Mo' momos please!

If there's a national food of Nepal, it's dal bhat, the rice and lentil combination people eat here for lunch everyday. And then there are momos, the small meat and vegetable filled dumplings that I've been wolfing down ever since I got here. They're little flavor-packed bites that go down so easily that you don't realize what's happened until the plate of two dozen you just ordered is suddenly, tragically, empty.


I spent a few minutes learning how to make them the other day with Yashas and Sheetal, his mother.


Roll out your dough



Just like Christmas cookies




Fill with a small spoonful of filling


Pinch at one end...

Fold from the front to the first fold, alternating sides





Steam and eat immediately!
