In the recent times, I have seen Momos gaining popularity among the street food lover. In India we have multiple option for street food but it does not take long for Momos to make it's mark. I was surprised when my Dad brought me some. He is not a street food lover but likes tontaste every option and that what made him brought some at home.
Momos became popular in India primarily due to the influx of Tibetan refugees who brought their momo recipes with them. The food was originated in the regions like Sikkim and Darjeeling, and adapting the dish to suit Indian tastes by incorporating vegetarian options and spicy chutneys, making them a readily accessible and delicious street food option across the country. In my are these are availale with chicken option or cauliflower option.
Momos are a type of steamed dumpling. They are often served with a sauce called achar, which is made with spices and herbs common in South Asian cooking. Their affordability and versatility further contributed to their widespread appeal, making it as one of the popular street food in India, especially in the North. My Dad did not liked the taste, but I had it before.
The main taste of the dish comes from the chutney that were served. I have three little packets of chutney, that includes, the Red spicy schewan, Green tangy coriander and White Mayonese. Getting surprised, it does not take time to snap them for my albums, and click few shots.
There has been long running arguments about Momos being healthy or unhealthy. Every person have their own perspective. In my view, Momos can be a healthy food choice if prepared with fresh ingredients and healthy methods. Momos can be a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They can also be low in calories and fat. However, eating too many momos can be unhealthy, especially for people with certain conditions. Anyway, I enjoyed the little snacks that came along to me.
