cupofjojo: Tibetans’ (Forbidden) Special Treat: “Momos are shaped like half-moons or like plump round purses. And although they can be made with store-bought wrappers, most Tibetan households here have a small wooden dowel reserved for rolling out the thin rounds of dough. Back in Tibet, wheat was even scarcer than meat, so momos were treats for special occasions like Losar, the Tibetan New Year celebration that begins on Wednesday.” Happy Tibetan New Year.
