Dumplings from heaven!

Yes it's been long, but what to do, first there was my pre-exam and exam time policy of not blogging (except in exceptional circumstances) and then the post-exam laziness happened, we anyway I am back to nagging everyone I know ( and those unfortunate souls who stumble upon this piece of internet).

So what's been up?


Well, for starters I am in Delhi. Yes, the land of Momos. Yup, the first thing I noticed about this place is the number of momo-wallahs at the end of every corner. Momo, what used to be pretty exquisite in Hyderabad is available on every roadside in Delhi. and I simply love it!

As two very momo learned friends of mine say it's the sauce that makes the momo. And after experimenting with a few momo shops I must agree, it IS the sauce that makes the momo. I mean I have not found one person who does not like to eat  momos. It's not like back home where you have to shell out a fortune for momos in those exclusively Chinese (and mostly high end places) here you get about 10 momos for 30 bucks! OMG!! and still its the sauce man, its the sauce.

I'd like you all to meet a friend with whom I bonded with over momos and hiphop music and got me hooked onto Korean pop music (2NE1 and Taeyang! <3 ) and Japanese serials, say hello to Rigzen Yangdol (very cool)  from NALSAR (not very cool, from what she tells me!) my fellow co intern (sufferer). She says the key to a good momo is the bottom of the momo coming off, and something else to do with fat. She also clearly and nicely explained how momos are preferred in Ladakh ( that's where she's from). I am eagerly waiting to try the pork momos, but as I am stuck with a bunch of vegetarians, well I guess that could prove to be a bit difficult, but let's hope for the best. I'll even adjust with Mutton (please oh please!).

Aditi says one of the best momos are in Dilli Haat, I plan to check that out sometime, and yes, also come back from there with a little change to my hair which will remind me of something similar I had a long time ago. Aditi suggests Momos and fruit beer and Rigzen agrees, whole heartedly. But these days whenever I feel momo hungry (yes that's a special type of hunger), I walk upto the momo man at the end of our street, the one who Geetay says looks Japanese, and buy a whole plate of nice chicken momos and hog!

So until next time, I'll eat momos, you do whatever you want. Toodles!!
