Steamed Momo in Melbourne

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.
