Momo

Kathmandu's most iconic street food -- steamed or fried dumplings

Momo are Kathmandu's signature street food: dumplings of minced buff, chicken, vegetables or paneer, steamed or pan-fried and served with a spicy tomato-sesame achar. Found everywhere from Thamel restaurants to roadside carts around Asan, jhol momo -- served in a tangy, spiced broth -- is a local variation worth seeking out.
