Yomari Recipe

Yomari is easy to prepare yet delicious food. It is basically prepared in Yomari Puni by our Newari community people. We can say that it is one of the signature dish in Newari food. It can be prepared with different filling inside but today i'm going to share the recipe i tried which is with Chaku/ Sakhar/ jaggery stuffing. Lets start with the key ingredients to prepare this dish.

Ingredients:

1. Rice flour (Thichen rice prefered/ any glutonous rice) 200 gm

2. Jaggery 100gm

3. Sesame seeds (Teell) 3/4 tbs

4. Ghee 1 tbs

Recipe:

For Dough:

1. To prepare dough first strain the flour in fine strainer.

2. Add hot water (but not boiling water) to it little by little and need the dough until it become soft. (Note: to much hot water may ruin the dough so be careful while adding hot water. After the water boils keep it aside for some time. Once the temperature decrease add it on floor little at a time not at once).

3. Keep the dough aside for some time.

For Stuffing:

1.For stuffing we have to melt the jaggery. For this lets take a pan and put it in stove add ghee when pan is heated and then add jaggery. let it melt by stirring it continuously so that it does not get burn.

2. When all the jaggery melts then add some water (add water 1/2 tbs at a time) and check its thickness. We don't want neither running jaggery nor very thick so keep that in mind. Check the liquid jaggery by your hand if it stick in your finger then it's ready and now add fried sesame seed to it and you can also add grated / chunk coconut it adds more flavor to Yomari.

3. Now turn off the gas and let it cool for 5/10 min.

Final step:

Now last thing remain is to put stuffing in the dough and give it a shape. Which i found is the hardest and mine were not so good. Hope your Yomari became good one.

1. For shaping it first of all take small ball of dough and make a cone shape without any hole. Then dip your forefinger in warm water with ghee and press the wider part at center and then use your thumb to thin that part and make a big well shape to put stuffing in it.

2. After adding chaku to it now hold the mouth of the hole and then start upper part of the cone to close it with your thumb and forefinger.

3. After making all the youmari we will steam it in a steamer for 10/15 min (you can also check the surface of yomari to confirm weather it is cooked or not. It the surface is sticky then it is not cooked else it is cooked).

Now delicious yomari is ready to serve. It is basically eaten with Khaja set but you can eat Yomari only also.

Enjoy cooking. Eat healthy. Eat home made.
