A fish-shaped steamed dumpling made from rice flour, filled with chaku (jaggery molasses) or khuwa (milk solids). The wrapper itself is unflavored -- all the sweetness lives in the filling, a deliberate contrast that's part of the dish's character.
Yomari has its own dedicated festival, Yomari Punhi, celebrating the dish specifically -- a genuine indicator of how culturally central it is, beyond just being a sweet snack.
Available across Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Patan, and Kirtipur sweet stores -- worth buying a few to take home given how widely it's stocked across the valley.
