How to have a momo party.

First you must ring the bell to gather everyone together for the festivities.

Then, clear the floor in the classroom in order to chop the meat. Then, screw a meat grinder onto the desk and grind all the meat up.


While the boys do this, girls (or vegetarian boys) should begin chopping leafy greens, carrots, and lots of onions. Someone else should start grating cheese.


Then, put all the vegetables into a bowl and add masala (spices) and salt. In a separate bowl, used only for meat, mix the ground meat, onions, salt, masala, and water - by hand.


Make dough and knead it.


The dough must then be pulled into small pieces by two people. Two other people should roll the pieces into little balls, and two other people should flatten the dough balls into little pancakes.


Then, at separate tables, put the meat and the vegetables in the center of each dough disk. In order to make a momo, you must pinch the sides together in a circular fashion that is obviously a skill associated with some gene that Tibetans have and I do not.




Then, place all the momos in steaming trays. Be very careful to stack vegetarian trays and meat trays separately.


If there is a good attitude among fellow momo-makers, you may partake in a flour fight.


After all the momos have been steamed, ring the dinner bell and gather together for a momo feast. It is recommended that a mix of vinegar and super-hot chili be made in order to dip the momos in.


After dinner, Tibetan music should be played, but it is fine to mix it with songs by Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, and especially Shakira. Afterwards, watch a movie called "Richard Gere is my Hero."

Then, you will have successfully had a momo party.
