Momos is a Tibetan recipe which has become a popular street food in India. These dumplings are so versatile. You can make with your favourite stuffing and in any shape. They are either steamed or fried. In this recipe, I have steam cooked the momos. These veg momos taste so great when served hot along with momos chutney.
