Steamed momo in Australia

Steamed momo is where everyone starts, and where a lot of us stay. A thin wheat wrapper pleated around spiced buff, chicken, veg or paneer, set over a steamer until the skin turns silky and the filling runs hot with juice. No crisp, no sauce to hide behind, just the truest taste of what a kitchen can do.

It is the honest test of a momo house. Get a plate, dunk each one in the tomato achaar, and eat it in a bite or two before the juice escapes. If the steamed momo is good here, everything else will be too.

We have mapped 149 spots serving it, most across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
