Kochkurs für nepalesische Momos oder Dal Bhat (Kochen mit Freude)

A brilliant class and a great way to explore Nepali food and culture. Would recommend to anyone! It was lovely to meet the family.

Cooking with Delight's mo:mo cooking class in Pokhara: My two teenage sons and I had two days in Pokhara after a seven day trek to Khopra Ridge. Along the trek we got to sample Nepali favourites like Gurung fried bread, Dal Bhat, and steamed and fried dumplings (mo:mo), all prepared slightly differently depending on the cook at the tea house we stayed along the way. We signed up for a mo:mo cooking class one late afternoon after exploring Pokhara. The location was convenient for us—a few minutes walk from the lakeside and close to our hotel. The class started with an overview of ingredients needed (so we can make mo:mo at home). Then we started with a super-easy dough, followed by preparing the dumpling filling and then a salsa / curry / dip. We used all-fresh ingredients so the preparation, chopping, and cooking was a sensory pleasure. Sandhya and her husband were terrific teachers: they demonstrated each step and then gave us hands-on experience (always with the aim that we can prepare the dish at home). At first I thought it would be difficult and intimidating, but they made it easy. I didn’t master the shaping process so my dumplings looked awkward—my sons did a more skilled job at shaping good-looking mo:mo, though. We had so much fun. The two and a half hour class flew by! Before we knew it, we all had plates full of the mo:mo and salsa we had created. Dinner time! Taste-test: the freshness of the ingredients and feeling proud of ourselves, plus a day of exploring and the wonderful instructions in this cooking class made the mo:mos taste like the best we had ever had. As a bonus, Sandhya and her husband explained how we can use the same dough recipe to make Gurung fried bread, which will be on the Sunday brunch menu once we get home again. We loved taking this class—a neat and untypical way to get a taste of Nepal, and a PERFECT activity for a late afternoon after a day of physical activity. Would do this again and try out a new recipe (like the dal bhat class).

Came here with three friends and had an absolutely amazing evening. The family were so welcoming and happy to talk to us about the culture! The Mo Mo lesson was brilliant and we almost had a trainer each! We made about 60 Mo Mos between the four of us! The food was excellent and it was brilliant to be welcomed into the families home to cook it for a genuine experience! Would and have recommended to others I know coming to Pokhara. So worth the money! Brilliant experience. Thank you very much to the family!
