veg momos recipe – posting one of the popular tibetan recipe of delicious vegetable momos made from scratch

making momos takes quite a good amount of time. so when you have enough time to spare, then make the momos. if you have a helping hand, then the time will reduce. but if you do everything on your own, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hrs, depending on your working speed and the gadgets you have in your kitchen.

now coming to momos, i have had one of the best momos or call them dim sum in the mainland china restaurant. back then i did not know that momos would become a popular street food in north of india. a few years back when we lived in gurgaon, i was amazed to see momos as a street food snack in many places.

when living in goa, a restaurant just a few kilometers from our place, specialized only in momos and that too different kinds with various stuffings. the owner’s wife was a tibetan and she would prepare the momos. the sauce they used to serve with the momos was a spicy, hot sauce and damn good. unfortunately, i don’t know the recipe as i never asked the tibetan lady
