If You Are A True Momos Lover, Try All These Types Of Momos

Momos is a Nepali (and Tibetan) name for Dumpling. It is a traditional delicacy in south Asian countries, mainly Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet and few northern states of India. It is arguably the most popular fast food in Nepal. Not long ago, someone thought of a genius gastronomical idea: getting the delicious Momos to India. As soon as these little pockets of happiness landed on our plates, it quickly became the most loved street food. Momos are enthusiastically consumed  by everyone on the streets. There are more Momo corners in Kathmandu and Indian streets than all the McDonald’s and Subways combined in the city of New York, you get the point. So, here we list all the famous types of momos.

Types of Momos:

1. Steamed Momos

The all-time classic steamed Momos we all love to eat. This is definitely the most common way of cooking Momos. Cooked in a steamer for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the wrap and amount of fillings.

2. Fried Momos

First steamed and then deep-fried. These deep-fried, crispy hot Momos taste best with mayonnaise and hot chilli garlic sauce.

3. Tandoori Momos

The tandoori twist, that the Momos have now got, was inevitable– given Delhi’s ‘Punjabification’. And it has led to tandoori Momos becoming latest temptations in the list of quirky savouries that the City’s gourmands love. It is our favourite among other types of momos.

11. Sweet Momos

We have been enjoying these Momos since our childhood, especially on Ganesh Chaturthi . These scrumptious Momos or modaks are prepared with full milk, sugar, crunchy coconut and a hint of cardamom. Nuts and dry fruits are added to give these sweet treats a rich flavour. Serve them with cold kheer or condensed sweet milk to make this dish a total knock-out.
