The Tibetan momos and its many moods
New Delhi: Momos, the bite-sized appetisers can be found in every corner of the city. This Tibetan dish trickled down from Tibet to Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Darjeeling and surrounding areas, all of which have their own versions. They are minimalistic and ingredients comprise basic stuff found around the house in Tibet – ginger, onion and meat. In Nepal, they add some spices to the stuffing.
In an era where everyone is trying to be as innovative as possible and fusion food is the in thing , the steamed dumpling has also undergone several changes. Tandoori momos are passe, and people are indulging in butter chicken momos, schezwan momos, oreo momos, korma momos, and every possible combination you can think of.
