Momo/Momos- Tibetan dumplings
Momo/Momos is very delicious
steam bun with filling. You can stuff filling of your choice. Momo originated
from tibetian region. It is very famous in Nepal, Bhutan, Sikim and in
Darjeeling. But now days you can see one momo shop in every corner in India. Especially
I used to eat a lot momo during my collage days. It is different from other
Asian dumplings or dim sum. I was trying
to make momo since my collage days but then it did not come out good. But now I
make momos good at taste after doing a lot of experiment I have come with a
street momo recipe which exactly taste like Indian street momo. This is a veg
version of momo.
