•Coming from a Nepalese-Marwari household, I’ve been lucky to try dishes from both the culture. But momo has always been my favourite.
I’ve been watching my mom prepare it since I was a kid and wondered how fun it is to wrap the momo until I tried my hands on it. 😂
Initially I found it really difficult but all thanks to the lockdown(seeing the positive side) I have surely got better at making momo and it has somehow improved my bond with her(bcs food preparing/food do connect ppl). So do try preparing food with family because we ain’t getting this kinda opportunity ever again. Xoxo♥️
