Momo is a type of steamed or fried dumpling that is a popular dish in Tibetan and Nepali cuisine, as well as in neighboring Bhutan and India. It is typically made with a white-flour-and-water dough and filled with meat, vegetables, cheese, or chocolate. Momos are usually served with a sauce known as achar, which is influenced by the spices and herbs used within many South Asian cuisines. There are many variations of momos, including steam-momo, kothey momo, jhol momo, C-momo, fry-momo, open-momo, fried momo, chicken-momo, veg-momo, buff-momo, cheese-momo, khuwa-momo, and chocolate-momo.
It is important to note that "Momo" can also refer to a derogatory term used to describe someone who is disliked or considered an idiot. Additionally, there have been reports of a "Momo Challenge" that allegedly targets young children by encouraging them to text a number on WhatsApp, which then sends them instructions to complete a series of increasingly bizarre and dangerous tasks. However, this challenge is widely seen to be a hoax and there is no evidence that it actually exists.
