Chicken Momo Recipe- Tibetan dumplings
Chicken momo (Dumplings/dimsum) is a very famous street food in India but Chicken Momo was originated in Tibetan or Nepalese Region. Soon it became very famous all over the India. Today I am showing the easiest and testiest version of chicken momo.
Momo/Momos is very delicious steam bun with filling. You can stuff filling of your choice. Momo originated from Tibetan 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 chicken version of momo. You can check my veg momo recipe and the momo chutney recipe as well.
