Why Momo deserves more attention

Momo rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The earthy and warming complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using mustard oil correctly takes real skill.

dal bhat power for 24 hours is a trekking mantra reflecting how central the dish is to Nepali daily life. I encountered it first in a Kathmandu teahouse and that context helped me understand it properly. nimbu pani is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Momo is the dish to start with.
