Will Kanchhi share her recipe for watercress momos? That would make a great cookbook entry with these pictures.

A few days ago Red Flower and I made the Chinese version of momos, (jiaozi) using young wild fennel and ground beef.
 
I don't own one but I held one at Aunties. They are pretty nimble, felt much lighter than the Bowie and probably are.

How do the tarwars compare in feel to the giant Chitlnagi Bowie?

The Tarwar is a true two-handed sword, about 29" OAL, ranging (in my experience) from 38-59 oz. The two-handed grip allows for reasonable handling, but it's more a beserker-type blade rather than something to duel with. The 59 oz version is too heavy, but I think most of them weigh in the mid 40's.

The GCB is a really big knife, 24-25" OAL, ranging (in my experience) from 42-55 oz. The handle is designed for a one-handed grip, or maybe one-and-a-half hands. Not enough handle for that much weight, unless you are unusually strong.

In my opinion the Tarwar is a fearsome fighting blade, whereas the GCB is an impressive work of art.

I am with you. I've said it before and I'll probably say it again, my Tarwar is probably the most alive blade that I have. It guides itself. It has a mind of its own. When I practice with it I feel like I learn new things. It is the only HI blade I have that I have named. That being said, I love all my others too.
