In a particularly sensitive week for Nepalihttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇳🇵" title="Flag of Nepal" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Nepal">sovereignty, i discovered #MoMo https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥟" title="Dumpling" aria-label="Emoji: Dumpling"> is listed as “Indian” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face">

@Google — please FIX it!

Even if there is an Indian ‘meat-in-dough-wrap’ dish, “MoMo” as it exists is #Nepali (as ShaPhaley is Tibetan, Ravioli Italian, Samosa Indian).

Revisit the dumplings map.

Nepal’s MoMo likely came from Tibet. But that’s a centuries old origin story.

It has since become a Nepali dish.
& its wide popularity in India is also tied to Kathmandu MoMo’s popularity on Indian food & travel shows in 1990s.
