yomari
Yomari is a traditional steamed dumpling from Nepal, particularly popular among the Newar community. It is made from rice flour and typically shaped like a half-moon. The filling often consists of a mixture of jaggery, coconut, and sesame seeds, giving it a sweet flavor.
Yomari is usually prepared during special occasions and festivals, such as Yomari Punhi, which celebrates the harvest. The dumplings are steamed in a bamboo basket, allowing them to retain moisture and flavor. This dish not only represents cultural heritage but also showcases the culinary skills of the Newar people.
