"Tibetan momos are easily among Kolkata’s favorite snacks, and restaurateur Doma Wang is often dubbed the city’s momo queen. A native of Kalimpong, Wang has been running a restaurant inside Kolkata’s Sikkim House for more than two decades. Now called Blue Poppy Thakali, the restaurant serves food from Wang’s home in the Himalayas, a mix of Tibetan and Nepali dishes with a few Chinese favorites thrown in. While her pork kothay (pot stickers) and delicate-skinned momos stuffed with juicy mincemeat have a cult following, old-timers swear by her chile pork. Also look out for meat-filled Tibetan pies called phalay, fortifying bowls of thukpa (Tibetan noodle soup), Nepal’s famed sel roti (ring-shaped fried bread made of rice flour), sungur ko masu with rai saag (pork cooked with mustard greens), and regional condiments like gundruk, or fermented radish leaves." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
