When you said that the chicken momo filling needed a little spice I instantly realised where that was coming from. The momo you had back in India weren't authentic nepali momo but more of an Indian version where they use a little more spice. If you get momo in Nepal or Sikkim or Darjeeling they will have little to no spice but quite a lot of ginger which is I believe a more authentic Nepalese momo. We nepali people like to savour the simple flavour of the meat the most and the dip and jhol is what has most of the spice. And yes we do eat around 20-30 of them in one seating. 😭

I agree with the momos being the best dumpling out there statement... When I was in Nepal I couldn't get enough of them. Nepalese people had the BEST sauces to go with them, I distinctly remember that. My partner and I ended up looking for a cooking class to know how they make them... SO GOOD!!! The spices and everything they use are just heavenly. If anyone goes to Kathmandu, go have veg momos at White House Kitchen. AMAZING

You actually miss the main dish called "Dhal bhat tarkari" which is very famous in Nepal. Every nepalese eat this daily. I think you should try this! Love from Nepal🇳🇵

Thank you Beryl for featuring my submission! :) Loved watching you try nepalese food. The grilled tandoori meat with samaybaji is called "Chhoila" and the falafel type of thing is "Bara- a pancake made out of lentils". I think the chatamari you got had a thick base, which normally is not the case. There's much more to nepalese cuisine. i hope you will try it in the future as well! Much love from Nepal!

I am so into this series! Thank you for creating such consistently fun, educational, and joyful content.

9:55 There's something about momo, From Nepal's mountains and valleys below, A humble dumpling that steals the show, With its aroma, flavor, and texture to glow. A filling of meat or veggies inside, Wrapped in dough so delicate and light, Steamed or fried, the choice is yours to decide, A taste of Nepal, an exquisite delight. It's more than just a meal, it's a culture's pride, A symbol of hospitality, served far and wide, From family gatherings to streetside vendors' stride, Momo brings people together, side by side. The fragrance of momo, a sweet perfume, Aromas of spices, and herbs in full bloom, A bite of momo, and my heart starts to zoom, With satisfaction and pleasure, no need for a room. Oh, momo, you are more than just a dish, A connection to Nepal, a cultural wish, To share your flavors, with every single wish, A divine experience, a moment to relish. So let's celebrate momo, this Nepali treasure, A dish that unites, beyond any measure, A culinary masterpiece, with infinite pleasure, Momo, the king of dumplings, beyond all measure.

This should be a pinned comment @beryl

Remembering my trip to Nepal and all the lovely people there - I don't think I've ever been to a place where the people are just so genuinely sweet and generous ❤️ - And yes, the portion sizes are like that, and not only for guests - my nepali friends always joke about serving (and eating without the smallest shred of guilt) a Himalaya of rice and dal. They can never believe when I capitulate after about a third of what is heaped on my plate 😄

Just reading all these comments from brothers and sisters from foreign countries and how they have Nepalese restaurants where they live and they visit often. It makes me so happy that our Nepalese brothers and sisters have well flourished our cuisine overseas and how so many different people enjoys them. Thank you to all the Nepalese abroad, to all the people for beautiful comments and to you Beryl for this video. ❤

ITS MOMO NOT MOMOS. You don't say pizzas, its pizza, whether its a slice or multiple slices, its always "x number of pizza slices". The same goes for momo, whether its a piece, multiple pieces, a plate, half plate or multiple plates. Its always momo. You could say "x plates of momo" but never "momos".

9:07 That is absolutely true. Momos are the best dumplings.. if not the best food imo

Your carrot surprise is called achar. It's made with carrots, raddish, cucumbers and mixed with spices and lots of lime. My absolute favorite.

My favorite food is dumplings and I’ve eaten almost every kind. So far, my favorite dumplings out of all of them are Nepali Momos, so completely agree with you, Beryl! 😄

Watching this, I feel a video series focussing on all the under-represented nations and their special dishes would be so cool!

Wow! I love seeing all of the variety. Steamed chicken momo looks perfect for a rainy day :)

1 momo = MoMo 2 momo = MoMo Infinite momo = Also MoMo Thankyou

I feel so emotional beryl, the way you put so much respect and care into making this video really hit my heart. As a newari person, it’s so lovely to see so much of our food highlighted 💕

This video is coming to such a great timing!! I'm actually travelling to India and Nepal next week! Can't wait to try so many new things!

Omg!!!! So glad you are trying Nepali food ❤😊!!! Happy to see my beautiful little country and its food being recognized ❤🎉!!!

This is so cool Beryl. Thanks for this 😍❤️

Hey Beryl, I love your videos! They are both entertaining and educational! I live in Houston, Texas so there are a lot of international cuisines here. these types of videos give me a much better idea of what to try when I get the chance. You Rock! Love from South Texas!

I live a few blocks from that restaurant and love it. Especially the chatamuri which isn’t something I’ve seen on a lot of other Nepali menus in the area. I’ve had it there and delivered and it’s def better there. It also comes with a little goat curry to poor over the top. Really satisfying. Great restaurant and one of dozens in the woodside/Jackson heights area.

Beryl, I completely agree with your preference for ordering a table full of dishes to share! I'm absolutely a "let's try everything" diner and am always so happy to go out to eat with friends who are on board with family-style dining.

Love this series!

Jhol momo is my very favorite! I live just around the corner from a Nepalese/Indian restaurant and the staff there never steers me wrong. 😊

you could've had yomari as a dessert which would go well with the menu that you had in this ep. Its also a newari dish kinda like a dumpling filled with sweet fillings (chakku, khuwa, etc)

I love how you always add some extra decorations to the food. You are so artistic! And kind to the food!

I love this episode. I had no idea what Nepalese food is. Yum, I agree it's community food. I have always been amazed of the land and her people in Nepal. I've watched so many documentaries and no one talks about what they eat!. Thank you for posting what you ordered in the description. I already know what I would order if I have a chance at Nepalese dining.

I wish you had tried chicken momo with the soup (jhol) that vegetable momo came with. That’s the perfect combo.🤤

I'm surprised (in a good way) that Newar cuisine features so prominently in this sampling of Nepali foods. It confuses me that chatamari would be a main dish while samay baji would be an appetizer - those should definitely be switched! Samay baji is a composed meal, in much the same way that a Thali is. The thing in the middle is a lentil fritter/cake, called wo in Newari and bara/vada in many languages in Nepal/India. Chatamari is more of a snack or small meal, and is often cut into pieces and shared. If your chatamari was doughy, it wasn't properly made. It should be crisp on one side and tender on the other, like an utthapam. Chyang, like momo, is of Tibetan origin. Momo has a longer history in Nepal, as it was brought back by Newar traders. The way you eat dozens of momo is that you gather with family and eat it while you make it. The littlest hands roll the dough into balls while experienced matriarchs roll them out into wrappers. Someone is in charge of depositing the exact amount of filling and everyone else pitches in to pleat them shut. You pop momo straight off the steamer into your mouth, while continuing to make more. You spend the whole evening this way, chatting, drinking, eating and making more and more momo. Like Sukuti, the best momo filling is buff (water buffalo meat). It's not really available outside of Nepal, so I hope one day you're able to travel and try it.

This looked so amazing and delicious, I'm hungry now!

Momo = love …. Not a single celebration goes by without Momo in Nepal….veg momo, paneer momo, chicken momo, buff momo, mutton momo … pork momo…omggg I m drooling just writing about it. Also chatamari is usually crispy…but u need to eat it piping hot… ur chatamari was a takeaway so it got soggy…

OMG nepalese food in NYC is amazing -- you should try Nepali Bhanchha Ghar in Queens which has the most amazing Sel Roti -- its soooo scrumptious and oily and fresh -- with their fresh dipping sauce -- omg I'm fasting and my mouth is watering just thinking about it

I didn't know anything about Nepalese food and now I'm dying to try it! This remains my favorite series of yours.

Nepalese are so good in making momos and i love ❤ it from 🇮🇳

Spent 2 weeks in Nepal.. Miss the people, scenery and mostly the food.. 🤤

There's a Nepalese restaurant in my city which does some of the best curry I have ever eaten, but I haven't been able to narrow down the kind of recipe they use for my favourite one - it's labelled as "Jomsom" on the menu, but based on my research, it's the region their chef is from, rather than a specifically defined style.

Yes, Jomsom is the upper Himalayan region in Nepal, mainly inhabited by the Thakali people. I m sure that must be Thakali cuisine.

Rains outside and Jhol momos are made for each other combination ❤

Chatamari looks so good, I'm drooling! it also looks like Filipino Torta in a way.

This Momo (my nickname) LOVES Momo's and I remember when we were living in Austin, there's this lovely Nepali mom who sold homemade momo's at the local Farmers Market along with her wonderful sauces and salsa's and I'm not kidding you that there were dozens of people in line waiting to pounce and get their hands on them when she opened her stall. I've had momo's in India and Nepal and agree with several of the comments below about the spice level being amped up in India and found the Nepali ones to have a more subtle fragrance to them. Either way, you can't go wrong with a Momo!

I agree with you, Beryl! I hate going out with people (mostly previous co-workers) who only order their one dish and are not open to sharing multiple dishes, family style.

Just took my 14 year-old foodie son on a restaurant crawl for his birthday. Nepalese was his very first stop!! Momo’s and lamb pepper fry were delicious.

Love this one! 👌🏼

Best chatamari is made when the base is crispy and the toppings are well cooked and soft.

Looks incredible! Thankfully I just moved to a place near a Nepalese restaurant

I love that Aisha got a little bite! She was looking interested when you ordered, so I'm glad she got to share in the food!

Such a great episode ❤

I don't understand why people refer to this food as 'momos' instead of 'momo'. I believe this might be because others are also using the plural form, and as a result, it has become more commonly accepted.

hi Beryl, that's a wonderful episode. I love to learn about different cuisines and there's not a lot of authentic Nepalese restaurants from where I live, so it's great to learn about them through your videos. Speaking of momos, I think it will be great to make a video about dumplings around the world (if you have not made one before, sorry I am quite new here😂), it will surely be fun to see the similarities and differences between them!

Thanks Beryl for discovering tastes of Nepal and you entertained well in this video . Please try other Nepalese cuisine too in future

Love ❤this !!!

Nepali food is really so tasty and comforting.. i would really like to try some authentic food in authentic places ❤

I *LOVE* momos and so to thank you for your video I have actually written you a poem.... In the heart of Nepal, where mountains stand tall, A culinary delight, beckons one and all. A morsel of heaven, wrapped in dough so thin, The story of momo, I shall now begin. With nimble hands and a craftsman's grace, The Nepalese people mold its tender embrace. A pocket of dough, folded with care, Hides treasures within, a secret affair. Steamed to perfection, or fried till it's gold, The momo's allure, a tale to be told. A bite to savor, the taste buds to please, For inside lies a fusion, that brings taste buds to their knees. A symphony of flavors, a dance of delight, The spiced meat and herbs, embraced in moonlight. Each morsel a whisper, of Nepalese lore, A culinary journey, one cannot ignore. With dipping sauces, tangy and sweet, The momo experience, truly complete. A taste of Nepal, a gift from above, Momo dumplings, a symbol of love. And as we part ways, a Haiku I bestow, To honor the momo, with love and gusto: Nepal's warm embrace, Momo whispers secrets, taste, Mountains in each bite.

Thank u for trying it ❤

Like you, I love to try little bites of everything. Community food is the best!

I love dumplings. We have a type of dumpling in Australia called the 'Dim Sim'... (not Dim Sum)... It is a Chinese Australian invention, usually made with beef or lamb but sometimes pork and cabbage, white pepper, chinese 5 spice, sesame oil, garlic and soy sauce. I'm not sure if these are available internationally but the most famous dim sims are 'South Melbourne market dim sims'... you can buy them frozen in the supermarket here but they're an actual takeaway franchise from Melbourne Australia.

After 15 to 20min, salt and sugar will kave drawn moisture from the raddish to create a vinaigrette. The sugar will balance the harsh edge from the raddish. You might wanna add chopped italian parsley . Greetings from the far north of Germany!

Hi Beryl, I really enjoy your videos. Just wondering, will you do a video of Ramadan/Iftar food around the world again?

Nepalese cuisine is awesome! Chatamari and Samay Baji are so loved in Nepal, as well as Wo. Chatamari is a perfect dish for a filling meal plus it's gluten free, has protein and is super healthy AND you can have it for any meal of day breakfast lunch or dinner. Chatamari should be just slightly thicker than a crepe and not too thick, and it comes in various types. Traditionally you have egg chatamari or Buff Chatamari (minced buffalo with mild seasonings). You can definitely have it with sauces if you want. If you're vegetarian of course experiment with vegetables to your liking. Newari Jhol momo is soooo good I love the flavour of this dish, it's mild and has fragrant taste of sesame, sichuan peppercorn, and hog plum. Jhol momo is glorious. Lastly, I wish you could try the authentic Nepalese Buff momo Beryl! Chicken momo is great but Buff is even greater. Closest thing you could substitute if Buff isn't available where you live is Beef. Now I'm off to go make some Chatamari because watching this video made me crave it so much!

Nepalese food is my discovery of this year it's sooo good!

Yes,Beryl! Momos are the best.

Chicken momos dipped in the spicy sauce just hits different 😋

I find it kind of ironic- I am from the US but live in a village in Nepal, about 9 miles from the border of Tibet. As I watch you, in the US, eating Nepali food, I am here in Nepal eating Shepherd's pie which I just made in the pressure cooker. But I do have a side of chiura (beaten rice) on the side!

It was basically a Newari food episode. I would love to watch Nepali food episode. There are a lot off different cuisines from east to west and from north to south of Nepal(all different from eachother).

Have you ever done a “dip” video? What’s the best dip and what would you dunk in it?

Great video. Some of these dishes have different names in my state of Bihar but have same flavor profile.

2:35 "::::exhalation:::: That's gonna give you arm hair." HAHAHA Beryl!

Not sure, to this day, what he meant by that, but you took me back to happy times. So, thanks! Everything looked so good. And, little doggy's appearance in the beginning made me so happy! I cannot wait to track down a Nepalese restaurant, or some recipes here on KZread, to try the foods from today's video. Well-done, as always, Beryl!

Beryl you are such a lovely loving person,know it. I would love to see you travelling to Nepal or just travelling in general.

"That's going to give you arm hair" Beryl never fails to Crack me up!

Dal-Bhat + Momos are my fav meal since I spend some time in Nepal, the whole thing is a bit of work but when you make it with/for friends and familly worth all the effort.

We can and usually eat 20 or 30 momos if it is homemade. You truly got the essence of Nepali food most of our food is meant to share. You should definitely try more Nepali food considering the food you tried mostly belonged to Newari community. A suggestion if you want to be shocked and thrown off completely try Rai and Limbu food.
