Lively Momo | Written by Shuvra Rimal

The first thing you order when you are hungry. The food item which you order after seeing everything on the menu. You are right, our all-time favourite: Momo. Now, momo is already connected to your hunger, heart and head but let’s connect it, relate it with Life!

You want me to start with the inner part or the outer part? Okay! let’s start with the  Chutney the most important thing! It can be a tomato chutney or chilli chutney or chiniya badam chutney (google it if you don’t know what that is) and you can have momo even without the chutney! Like the momo chutney in your life, there are different types of people who have different flavours. Some are tangy, some are spicy, some are different and some are just normal. You should taste all the Chutnies but make sure that you have momos with the chutney you like the most.

“Your life your choice. Your momo’s your favourite chutney!”

Now moving into the keema because what’s inside matters slightly more than how it looks from outside! There are varieties of Keemas: buff keema,mutton keema , chicken keema ,veg keema and even vegan keema. Like the keema, you are full of variety of things! Thoughts, goals, emotions, chemicals, organs and blood. You have the freedom and intelligence to make any kind of keema you want, live in any way you want.

My suggestion: Make that keema which you would enjoy having and understand that you have all the required ingredients in the right proportion. Nothing less nothing more. So don’t waste time searching for the ingredients! Find the type of keema you want to have!

Coming to the outside looks. See, there are many ways of wrapping momo. You may wrap it in a unique way, others might wrap it in a different way! So in life don’t think the way you are following is the only right way. There may be a thousand other ways! You never know! So, love and respect all the momos and humans!

As all of you know there are many types of momos: steamed momo, fried momo, c-momo, Kothey momo, sizzler momo, tandoori momo and many many more. Every type of momo is made in a different way using different recipes but all of us know that what we are having is momos. Similarly, there are humans of different caste, colour, gender, accent, appearance. Each one of them is brought up in a different way, follow a different tradition. But all of us should know that we are all humans! We might be different but all of us are still same!

See you can order a momo online or go to a restaurant to have it but when you make it on your own trust me you will enjoy it the most! Build your life with your own hands. Like they say to be the artist of your canvas!

Above all, we all should understand that cooking mo:mo is similar to building our lives! It takes time. Have patience and enjoy both: your momo and your life!
