Momos Recipe | Best Veg Momos With Chutney

Hii! My Foodies, today we will discuss Momos Recipe. Now a days, Momos are very famous as India’s street food, momos originated in Nepal and this recipe mainly belongs to Nepali Cuisine. I travelled a lot in Ladakh and realised that at least in Ladakh no one makes momos using only refined flour! that I think, is a very urban thing. Over there the momos are made with a combination of wheat flour and refined flour. So, we will use the mixture of wheat flour and refined flour.

It’s totally optional, you can use only refined flour to give a better texture. Mixing wheat flour and refined flour makes the momos little bit healthy. Veg Momos Recipe mainly consists of Momos sheets and vegetable mixture.
