Momos are made of a simple flour and water dough. White flour
is generally preferred, and sometimes a little yeast or baking soda is added to
give a more 'doughy' texture to the finished product.
Momo is a type of steamed dumpling with some form of filling.
Momo has become a traditional delicacy in Nepal, Tibet and among
Nepalese/Tibetan communities in Bhutan, as well as people of Ladakh, Northeast
India and Darjeeling regions of India.
Momo is prepared with special spices, which add unique and
original taste to suit the Nepalese palate. The third reason is momo's long
history. Momo has figured on Nepalese menus for centuries and it has become
part of the national culture. The fourth is its availability
Momos (dumplings) are believed to be of Tibetan origin and
since had spread to other neighbouring countries. Momos are of two types: fried
and steamed. Most of non-veg momos usually contain chicken pieces, veg momos
contain cabbage, carrots and onion. ... Most of us think they are healthy,
particularly if not fried.
Momo is actually just a creepy sculpture made by a Japanese
special effects company. The viral internet hoax "Momo" is actually a
sculpture that was put on display in Tokyo three years ago. The sculpture,
titled "Mother Bird," was made by artist Keisuke Aisawa for the
Japanese special-effects company Link Factory.
