Etymology

The term 'momo' originates from the Tibetan word 'momo' meaning 'steamed bun.' The dish is believed to have been introduced to Nepal and India from Tibet, where it was known for its simplicity and savory fillings. Over time, momos have evolved and diversified, incorporating local flavors and ingredients. They gained popularity with the rise of Tibetan influence in regions of India, particularly in Sikkim and the northeastern states. In these places, momos are enjoyed as a snack or a main dish, showcasing a fusion of various culinary traditions. Today, momos have become a staple street food, often served with various dips that enhance their flavor, reflecting a blend of cultures along the Himalayan region.
