Interlude: Food of the Month (May): Momos

A traditional Tibetan treat. Momos are steamed doughy dumplings filled with cabbage, spinach, and other vegetables. Dipped in a hot chili sauce, these little guys make a tasty snack or meal. They're bite sized if you open wide, and I can happily consume a dozen or so in a single sitting. In Dharamasala, I found a guy on the street that sold me five momos for five rupees: this has to be the great deal on the planet. I admit that I'm totally addicted, and ate them pretty much every day we spent in an area with a large Tibetan community (which was pretty much the whole month). As we liked to say: “Mo' momos, mo' happiness.”
