Newar Food/ Newar Cuisine

Last time I invited some friends at my home for food. As We had so less time, we thought to buy the readymade MoMo in the Korean Shop. We bought the Vegetable Dumpling. At first I was not so sure, if it will be good. After having the Dumpling Vegetable ( MoMo in nepali), I was very postively suprise. It was Yummy delicious. To have the authentic newari MoMo cha taste, add just some nepali spices in the sausage. It will taste more like MoMo cha.

Make MoMo cha by yourself.

Steamed Dumplings: Put some water in the Steaming pan and heat. When the water is boiling, put dumplings on the steaming board and steam it for 5-6 minues for delicious steamed dumplings.

Fried Dumplings: Heat frying pan drizzled with oil and when the oil boils, weaken th fire and fry for 3-4 minutes wiht cover shut. Then open the cover and put 2 big spoonfuls of water into the pan for 10 dumplings and fry for 1-2 minutes.

Microwave Oven: Put the dumplings on a microwave-safe disch, pour a bit of water and wrap the dish wiht shrink-wrap.
