It's as delicious as it sounds cute. Also, we love and appreciate like it is a part of our culture and you can find a momo place in almost every street in Nepal. So, yeah, you can say it is Nepali. Also, in a sense most Nepali people have Tibetan ancestors as it was orginally a trade route for India and China, so yeah, it is a huge part of our culture.
@@sonamwangmo5652 hey I have been seeing your comments in everywhere claiming the origin of momo, we never claimed the origin of its, it is from Tibet and that's a fact which will not change, but saying its not our tradition and we can't claim its our is actually hurting and rude. Tradition does not depend on the time you were familiar but rather it's how much you are familiar. A thing originate from any place can be part of people on other place too. And the Nepali version momo, I am sure they are different from others and you can see it clearly says Nepali momo instead momo which means they are talking about the Nepali version of the momo. And everyone is saying Korean version, Japanese version, etc of dumpling which means they are showing their version of the original dumpling, nepali momo is same like this. We may have our culture seems like mixture of India and Tibet but trust me we are unique with our own trait. And next thing some us do have some Tibetan ancestors and we are not here to claim the right but just to express how much we love momo. History may be a part but it is not everything!
yes you are correct basically all dumplings are same.. just look at how they make it.. its same.. so why fight in name of country?? just enjoy the food.. its intended to be eaten by all human beings not just the people whose country its from. And sonam wangmo the taste of momo was perfected in Nepal, tibeaten momos are not as tasty as Nepalese version.
"Every culture has its own version of dumplings" Today we will be making mini pizzas, It is an American style dumpling, first you have to microwave it, then you have to eat it
@ay • 6 years ago But didn't pizza start as a poor's food? Because that's the story I've always heard here, which it's pretty cheap here in Argentina (we're mix of people but mostly Spanish and Italians descendants)
All moms eyeball 😂😂 never met a European, Hispanic or African mom that actually measures for dinner recipes. I’m very white, and only measure for the dough
In Nepal, when you go to restaurants we end up adding momo to our order and my parents own a momo shop before so we occasionally make momo at home ....
Some people be complaining about the Nepalese dumpling. The cook herself said *"I'm actually South Indian and my best friend, Nikita, is Nepali and this recipe is actually her mom's"* Meaning to say, its not your traditional recipe for momos but rather her friend's mother's (who is Nepali) own customization. Its not that hard to understand if you listened to what Sanjana said in the first place. If you want it so damn bad, make your own according to your likings.
@@auggie5335 why not a South Indian cannot make it and what is with u guys that u keep on saying it's not right recipe..cooking is an application of art n science together so why cannot a person make or invent a new recipe for dumplings or any other dishes..if a person can eat n try food from other cuisines n culture..then for sure a person can make food from anycutlture regardless of their roots. stop this subtle kind of culture appropriation here..its people like u who think that they are being honest n critic about others videos but in real u guys are actually discriminating..cooking is a beautiful thing n anyone one can adapt their recipes according to their preferences n choices..😠
@@auggie5335 Though Nepalese food, momos are quiet famous around India as well. The coolest thing about momo is you can have any filling according to your preference. Btw i dont think there's a 'wrong' way to make momo.
Chill people ... I am from Nepal and i just love that an Indian got to make momo representing her best friends mom(Nepali) recipe and country. I am more than happy that two people from two countries love the Same thing and strengthing the friendship through food. So sshh haters. Actually , very very long time ago Newari trader people of kathmandu valley got to know this dish from Tibet too and modified it according to our liking here and called it Momocha. And now its spreading across the world.💓💓 hope that more people will try our Momocha. This is what heaven must taste like.😊😊
@@swatiwhocares4752 Modaks are nothing like momos. Then people will say that Pithas are also Indian momos. But it's not true. These are sweets. And momos are by defination Nepali dumplings.
@@anusreetopodder6076 not particularly momos but various dumplings are made in north eastern states of india and the northern most himalayan areas have dumplings as well
In the Himalayan India and Nepal, momo is really famous and we love eating it in winters with spicy tomato chutney. A lot of variations in momo filling is found in northern indian plains (delhi, chandigarh etc). we love momo.
i have travelled all over asia and have tried all country's dumplings but man Nepali MO:MO is something else , it is out of this world...the taste is so different and unique .... jhapali ho hai ma chai 😁😁
I'm an Indian and i love Nepali culture and it's people... they are like our people. I'm actually proud of Nepal for protecting their traditions in their original way.🙏😊
Tbh I‘m often looking forward to see pelmeshki in one of the videos, but I don’t think Tasty ever mentioned them, not even once. Also, as far as I understand, russian/slavic food is quite familiar to americans because of whole districts of ex-ussr citizens. MAKE PELMENI
Russia right now is based in Europe. Almost all of its population is white and living in what is generally considered part of Europe. The rest are various Asian Ethnicities who should be considered asian, but Russia is politically European. Asians living in a European country. Like the US, but without genocide.
But Russia got its Asian part by colonization; and Russians are European. So, no. Russia is not Asian. It is European. Just like how France has a part of it in South America, but its not a South American country.
Although I live in India we have a lot of Nepali people here who make mouth watering momos. Now it has evolved into tandoori momos, fried momos, achari momos, veg momos etc etc 😂
i dont recall using cabbage while steaming momo. we apply oil to the streamer. we have steel steamer where we cook momo (never seen a bamboo steamer in my 2 decade staying here). technically its a street food but its also very common food u get anywhere u go. its not necessarily eaten using hand(though its very common to use hands while eating in south asia). shape also differs accordingly to filling in most cases.
The fact that so many different peoples and cultures embraced and developed their own versions of "dumplings" is proof of how magnificent a foodstuff they are.
In Nepal everybody has their own version of dumplings So guys stop making fuss about the amount of spices or the recipe. she said it's her friend's mom recipe so chill. Why are you guys so bothered about South Indian girl making momos Least you could be thankful it is included Loved the recipe by the and thank you love from Nepal 😍
I've noticed in every video where there's a connection between Nepali and indians, there's so much hate towards indians from Nepalis. I just don't get it, are we that bad as neighbours or what?
hjvjvg bhbjhvv but they choose the wrong girl lol they choose the brown vegetarian loving meat fearing Nepali girl 😂😂😂 infact the Nepalis and Tibetan who made dumplings are mongoloid too
There's also tibetan one and since I'm vegitarian, my parents replace the meat with spinach, mushrooms and cheese ^^. And we steam it aswell for about 45 minutes. It has the similar form to the japanese ones but it's just a bit "fuller"? I love these and hope this kinda helped.
I love that Nepali momos are a blend of East Asian & South Asian cuisine. It just shows you that borders that people create between nations haven't always been there & don't determine 100% how culture is exchanged ☺
Really appreciate these videos hearing people talk about the culture and meaning behind the food they're making!! Especially love this one since we were able to see the differences between the ingredients of each country. :)
iIstead of just the hands making food without any background or cultural relevance. Glad Tasty is making videos with more culture and personal attachment.
BEFORE ANYONE SAYS " MOMO'S ARE TIBETAN " . Yes momo is a tibetan word and yes they were brought to Nepal from Tibet yearsss ago but since then the Nepali people have added their own herbs and flavours to suit the Nepali plate. Nepali dumpling are more herby. "Nepali momo" would be the term to describe momos From Nepal. Just like Chinese dumplings are different from Japanese dumplings. Tibetan momo and nepali momos taste different from each other.
Whenever I see dumplings around the world India never has their own one in it , but actually Bengalis have one and it's called 'Pithe". It's bhaji (cooked vegetables with lots of spices) or daals (pulses)or most common filling is coconut mixed with jaggery wrapped in rice dough and then steam it .It tastes DELICIOUS. We usually make it on Bengali New Year's eve and also we have a special festival dedicated to it called 'Pithe Pabbon' . Hope it spreads
I grew up eating gyoza bc I am Japanese descendant. We ate it every time we craved them, not necessarily in special dates. I remember that we made them from scratch, making the dumpling wrappers at home, so we spent around 3 hours in the making and eating them in 10 minutes. So worth the work. Thanks for this video, made me remember and cherish mom’s cooking, more today on Mother’s Day.
nawa chan ... maybe u r right but if u ask Indians they would say it is from Nepal bcz that's what we have learnt from tv shows...many Nepali participate in specially dance shows & they mostly talk about momos that's why we think that
My favourite dumpling memory is the small Momo shop we had in our college. I used to go there almost everyday, and always came back smiling. I knew I was the momo Aunty's favourite customer, she always gave me that extra chutney without having to ask for it.
Im indian and we absolutely love our momo!!! Especially the spicy chutney that we eat it with. I on the other hand love the vegetarian momo, instead of chicken its filled with chopped cabbage 😊😊
Nepali Mo:mo is the go-to food in Nepal. Whenever we go out and order, we ALWAYS order mo:mo. Mo:mo is basically like our unofficial national food lol 😂😂😂
Basically i love the hot shot(chutney made with pur chilly and ginger and garlic in it)..dang momos taste so good with them...momos are not momos until u dont have tht chutney which makes u cry
it makes me unbelievably happy and RELIEVED to finally see people appreciate nepali culture and food, WE DON'T GET ENOUGH HYPE!!!! thank you, tasty and THANK YOU sanjana for stepping up and sharing our amazing MOMOS with the youtube community :)
Feel the Stirn it’s not Nepal’s traditional dumpling. That’s why you never heard it in before. It’s tibetan’s traditional dumpling. Momo means dumpling in Tibetan language. There isn’t words like this in Nepal’s language.
@@sonamwangmo5652 It is called "momocha" in Nepalbhasa and "mome" literally means to cook by steaming! Momocha is ofc inspired by tibetian momo recipe bought by the Newa traders! But the fillings and dipping sauce are different...so it makes it different from the tibetian version despite being similar in shape!
I am sooooooooooo proud😊 that they added Nepali momos too. I love tasty and I have always been its active follower but I had never imagined they would actually notice this tiny little country that is not really known in the global community so, thank you so much for that and now I am craving momos so bye.💜💜love y'all.💜💜
Momo is a dumpling india has adopted. You can literally find it in every street and city, with so many variations from steamed to fried to tandoori momis with a variety of meat options depending on which city you are from.
Hi this is Mel I'm here. Wanna have some momo with me? I'm not gonna ask for coffee. Cause that thing is new and I don't get what capachino and espresso means.
I live on the Indo-Nepal border and I can't express in words how amazing authentic Nepalese food is. I am a Punjabi and enjoy spicy food, and Nepalese food is just incredible. Momos are by far my most favorite fast food.
I like to make a bunch of dumplings and freeze them just like Rie said! It’s convenient and honestly it’s easy to make! You don’t need so many ingredients. I usually make them when I have cabbage and carrots leftover, it’s great to toss left over veggies you need to use right away into the meat mixture.
Omg I’m so happy you guys included Nepali Momo (dumplings) They are literally every Nepali persons favorite food. I love dumplings in general and I’ve had them from different countries but Nepali dumplings just call my name .😋😍💕🇳🇵🇯🇵🇨🇳🇰🇷
Yuri Magar MOMO IS tibetan Food. Thanks for showing it as Nepalese food. Would have been nice of Tasty if Tibetan Momos which are quite popular all over the shown as tibetan Dumplings. MoMo means dumpling in tibetan language
of course they do. the chinese silk road connected asia all the way to europe so dumplings can be found all throughout those trade routes. depending on where you are, the ingredients will vary, for instance turkish manti is usually ground beef or lamb with yogurt sauce and georgian (central asian country) khinkali looks very similar to a xiaolongbao but traditionally seasoned with cumin. they're all dumplings, basically some filling wrapped in some dough and cooked some way.
I think it's just a universal thing to put things into small food packets and then fry, steam or bake them. I wouldn't be surprised if people were doing that in some form even before trade routes were established.that being said, trade probably caused them to change ingredients and they perhaps started converging on similar shapes and such.
Yes we do,we make a dough with flour,water and an egg,and our dough isn’t as thin as the dough from the dumplings made in the video.We steam our dumplings and we fill them with ground beef.In Chechnya,we make manti,they’re similar to the Turkish ones but we don’t eat them with a yogurt sauce,we make a sauce with carrots,onions and tomato sauce.Its really delicious,I’d recommend trying them 😋😊
I'm making pierogi tomorrow, and i came here exclusively to understand the "Hane" (I don't know the exact spelling) method of browning the dumplings. I hope that they come out being a tasty meal!
Allyparis Pandey momo means dumpling but it’s tibetan’s language. Momo means dumpling and this dumpling is tibetan’s traditional dumpling. She explained wrong.
Guys this is not that well known but from the north of Pakistan and i think Afghanistan as well or other countries too, there are these dumplings called mantu, I grew up eating them and theyre sooooooo gooood, they're made with beef or lamb with some fat in the meat mixed with mint and onions and then they're steamed and topped with a spicy lemon chilli sauce or a garlic yoghurt sauce, people really need mantu in their lives
i'm afghan too and i used to love these when i was younger!! now i don't eat meat anymore so we eat orshak (i dont know if thats spelt right oops) but thats afghan too and sooo good
