The Untold History of Momo | How a Himalayan Dumpling Conquered India

Today it sits on every street corner in India, from Delhi's lanes to Kolkata's night stalls. But the momo did not start here. So where did this steamed dumpling actually come from, and how did it travel across the Himalayas into Indian kitchens?
