Day 5 Introduction to the food of the Himalayan region- Making Momos
 

Read Monsoon Afternoon written by Kashmira Sheth

Talk about momos, how they are dumplings and that different things can be added to make the filling

Make the momos using this recipes: Making Momos (I will be making the filling ahead of time so that it can cool enough)

The students can help make the dough by measuring the water and flour and then kneading the dough

Alternatively won ton wrappers may be used, it will not be the same, but it will allow for a shorter prep time with the students

Have the students fill their own momos and then the teachers pan fry them in an electric skillet with a bit of oil

We then will enjoy the momos!!
