When you think of the most ubiquitous street food in Nepal, there flashes the sight of piping hot momos that warms the cockles of your heart and make you drool. It goes without dispute that this dish has shot on to become the go to dish among the masses especially the young crowd. Hence we are on a momo trail to taste the range available on the streets that the public swear by. To guide us on this fascinating culinary trail of this quintessential Nepalese dish we are joined by Kamal

Our first stop was Ghangri Cafe at Jhamshel, Kathmandu. This place is famous for what is known as open momos or Sui Mui momos. Available in chicken, pork and buff, they are loved for their unique shape and of course unparalleled taste. One bite is enough to fall in love with the open momos. The three different chutneys accompanying the delicacy infuses the stuffing inside the momos through the open ends and and transforms them into tiny bombs of flavours.

The next stop was Mahabharat momos in Patan Dhoka. Before trying their popular Jhol momo, we first witnesses the momo making in the kitchen. This kind of momos originated from the Newari community. It was fascinating to watch a team of young workers efficiently doling out momos in lightning speed. We then tried a plateful of freshly steamed momos that is to be eaten with the creamy and spicy sesame, peanuts, soyabean and fresh coriander based broth. The momos and the broth are served separately and one has to dunk them in the broth and have them together to get the real feel of the combo.

Then was the turn of another batch of jhol momos at Narayan Dai Ko Mashangali. This variant was completely different from the previous Jhol Momos as the broth here was thin, spicy and tangy due to the use of a local sour fruit called Lapsi. They serve you fresh chicken, mutton or buff momos in a bowl which you need to submerge with ladle full of this runny broth that from the huge clay vessels kept at the counter and relish. The taste was indeed very unique and irresistible.

Next destination was a Sinka restaurant which is famous for Chaat momos and The unique sizzler momo. The first one is zesty sweet and sour combination of fried chicken momos in beaten curd, chutneys, peanuts, onions and chaat masala. This chat was quite unique and flavoursome. The second dish is a sizzler comprising of steamed chicken momos, stir fried noodles and stir fried veggies,. This one was flambeed with rum and had very interesting international flavours.

Our final destination in the trail was a quaint momo cafe named Noyoz. Here we tried some lip smacking smoked pork, Kothey momos and Aloo nimki. Smoked pork was succulent, fatty, flavoursome, smoky and hearty. Though not a momo dish, the aloo nimki with multitude of flavours was a welcome change.

No wonder it was a memorable momo trail with our foodie host Kamal.
