Nepali Momos and Dal Bhat
Spicerer Maisie lived in Kathmandu in Nepal for 10 years and a recent trip back there reignited her love of momos, a type of filled dumpling and the most popular street food of the region. The word momo comes from a Chinese word meaning steamed bread, the dough is simply made from flour, water and oil and encases a mixture of mince, onion and fragrant spices. Momos are always served with a momo achar (or pickle) made from tomatoes, toasted sesame and timut pepper - a spice reminiscent of Sichuan pepper and used in most Nepali cooking. For the main event we have a Nepali staple, dal bhat or dal with rice which is served at every meal including breakfast!

I never thought I'd be able to cook steamed buns but the Momos were so easy to make and delicious! The cauliflower was my favourite part of this dish. A mild curry but add in the green chilli pickle and wooomf! there's the heat!!
Amazing! Momos will be made again
Fantastic- glad you really enjoyed this! Marvellous momos are so delicious!
There is an awful lot to do and the result was bitter and didn’t have the flavour I was looking for. You win some, you lose some.
So sorry to hear this wasn't one of your favourites! I have passed your feedback on to our recipe developers so that they can look into this, in the meantime, if you get in touch with us via email we can arrange sending you something else that you might prefer!
A lot of work for little reward! What a faff this meal is to make with so many steps and techniques required. The only bit that was any good were the momos, but the rest of it I would have happily binned. The dahl was like brown sludge and tasted similar to that, whilst the green chilli pickle was rocket fuel hot. I like spice, but not that much. As for the cauliflower tarkari, give it the last rites and move on. Carrot and Cucumber salad, not very exciting... A severe disappointment with nearly 3 hours of my life wasted.
So sorry to hear this wasn't one of your favourites! But we're glad that you enjoyed the momos. If you get in touch with us via email we can arrange sending you something else that you might prefer!
Having been to Nepal and tasted the delights of Momos I was excited to make these. We really loved them, they tasted so authentic and I may order another box. Just would like a vegetarian version although the meat was not overpowering.
It's great to hear that you really enjoyed this box! I'll pass your feedback on to the recipe developers that you would like a vegetarian version- you can also always get in contact with us if you would like advice on vegetarian alternatives for the recipes and we'll be happy to advise, happy spicing!
Great recipe and the Momos were fab - the dhal was great too (I did cook for longer than the recipe stated as I prefer it quite thick) and loved the chilli kick from the green chilli pickle!
Brilliant- glad you enjoyed this recipe, we love these magnificent Momos too!
Have developed a real taste for Momos and this spice box was a winner in our household. Would definitely buy again
It's great to hear that these delicious little dumplings were a winner!
Absolutely delicious! Every bite was bursting with flavor from fresh veg and high quality spices. When I can't travel I travel cook and man this kit did not disappoint :D
This looks like a truly spectacular feast, Janis - we're especially impressed with those beautiful momos! We're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed 'travelling' to Nepal with this vibrant veggie spicebox!
