What Nepal actually does to a momo once it comes out of the steamer. Jhol means broth — the dumplings arrive sitting in a warm, nutty sesame-tomato gravy you drink once they are gone, and it is the single most-ordered thing on any Kathmandu momo menu. Chili momo goes the other way: fried first, then wok-tossed Indo-Chinese style with onion, capsicum and a glossy chili-soy glaze.
Cooked to order at 6400 Derry St. Open Tuesday–Sunday, 11 AM–9 PM. Order below for pickup, or delivery within 5 miles.

Pork momos in the same sesame-tomato jhol — savoury and a touch sweeter than the chicken.

All of the jhol, with the vegetable dumplings. Light, refreshing, quietly addictive.

Fried chicken momos wok-tossed Indo-Chinese style with onion, capsicum, garlic and a glossy chili-soy glaze. Sweet, salty, smoky, hot.

Pan-fried pork momos in the chili sauce. Richer than the chicken — pork carries the heat differently.
