Dhapu Momos

These giant momos are a bigger version of a regular momo. Some refer to them as Tibetan MoMo, and they are a close version of Chinese Da Pao. As big as a child’s fist, they are as good as other types. The thickness of dough is not something many people are used to, but it is filling and tastes great.
