Buffalo Mo:Mo is a popular Nepali dumpling dish made with buffalo meat and served with a spicy tomato chutney.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the minced buffalo meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped cilantro, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, prepare the dough by mixing all-purpose flour and water. Knead until you have a smooth dough.
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a thin circle.
Place a spoonful of the buffalo meat mixture in the center of the dough circle.
Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing with your fingers. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan for frying.
Carefully place the mo:mo in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried mo:mo from the oil and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
To make the tomato chutney, blend the chopped tomatoes, chopped green chili, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and salt in a blender until smooth.
Serve the buffalo mo:mo hot with the spicy tomato chutney.
