Travel to a cooking class in Kathmandu to learn how to make Momo's.

Meet with the instructor and translator at the cooking class.

Prepare the filling for the Momo's by mixing capsicum, carrot, onion, soybean, green onion, and boiled potatoes with spices including small masala, turmeric, chilli powder, salt, ginger, and garlic paste.

Mash the boiled potatoes with hands to create a sticky mixture.

Roll out dough into small pieces and flatten them into circles for the Momo wrappers.

Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into perfect circles, noting that it's harder than it looks.

Attempt to make the Momo by filling the dough with the prepared filling and folding it over, using fingers to pinch and twist the edges to seal.

Taste the homemade alcohol offered by the instructor, noting to drink it slowly as it's strong.

Finish the Momo's and express satisfaction with the taste, despite some imperfections in folding.
