FRIED VEG MOMOS

VEGETABLE MOMOS

Momo is a type of East and South Asian steamed filled dumpling, popular across the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayan regions of East-South Asia border. Momos, originating from Tibet is a hugely popular street food in the country, largely in North-India. A versatile food that it is, we have a wide variety available from chicken, mutton to what we have here, vegetable momos.From last few years, Momos are getting very popular in other parts of India.

Making momos takes quite a good amount of time. So, when you have enough time to spare, then make them.The shaping of the momos come through practice. I don’t make them often. Hence obviously, I am not an expert in shaping them.
