做法
- 做馅:宽口锅小火融酥油。下炒过的芝麻、刨细的 chaku 与小豆蔻粉。持续搅拌 4 分钟,直到 chaku 化开,与芝麻黏成深褐色粘稠馅。拌入 khoya 与坚果碎。冷却。馅应坚实可塑,但又柔软可包入面皮。
- 做面皮:粘米粉与盐合在一起。一边倒沸水一边用筷子搅拌。趁热加油揉一下。面团应柔软、有韧性、略带黏性。盖好醒 15 分钟。
- 取一份面团(约 30 克),用手指捏成椭圆杯形——一头尖、一头开口,像小碗。
- 杯中放 1 大勺馅。把开口处捏合,把面团捏成鱼形:中央圆肚,一端尖尾,另一端微抬鱼头。yomari 的鱼形是不容更改的标志。
- 重复制作。共做 18 至 20 个。
- 竹蒸笼里铺烘焙纸,水大火烧开,蒸 18 分钟。米皮会变得油亮、略带半透明。趁温热吃;里面的 chaku 馅是熔流状,小心烫嘴。

文化背景
Yomari 是 Yomari Punhi(12 月纽瓦尔满月节,庆祝稻米丰收)的中心。鱼形象征丰饶与多产。每个纽瓦尔家庭都做一大堆 yomari,先供奉神明(尤其是谷物女神 Annapurna)再吃。Chaku——尼泊尔深色甘蔗糖——是不可或缺的馅料原料,少了它就成了普通甜饺。现代也有咸馅版,但 chaku 配芝麻才是原版。
