There are fewer joys in life as great as a plate full of momos. If you don’t agree to this, well, we are clearly going to judge you. These tiny pockets of happiness filled with the most savoury filling make their way to our hearts the moment they land on our plate. The hot chilli garlic sauce and mayo just add to the uniqueness of this Tibetan delicacy. If you have had enough of the chicken, keema, paneer, vegetables (or afghani, for that matter) momos, here’s a whole new world of momos waiting for you to testify your love.
