Momo was initially a Newari food in the Katmandu valley. It was later introduced to Tibet, China and as far away as Japan by a Nepalese princess who was married to a Tibetan king in the late fifteenth century.

​

Momos are made with a simple flour and water dough that is rolled into thin circles. A mixture of either ground meats,or vegetables and native spices are used as filling.
