Veg Momo

 Momo, I have both good as well as bad memory associated with it.

Good memory takes me to  Mcleodganj.
While holidaying in Mcleodganj, we had the best momo, just outside the Dalai Lama's Temple. An old man was selling the hot steamed homemade veg momo's for just 20 Rs /for 4 pieces. They were simply superb. Not too spicy.. Just perfect for my taste.  We were so hungry & momo's were very tasty.. We just started finishing them & forgot to click those tasty hot momo's.  Don't know how many momo's we have finished that day !!!! Even my fussy eater son grabbed some momo's.

Bad memory takes me to the restaurant of bangalore which serves both Veg & non-veg momo's.
Once we had ordered Veg momo, they served one non-veg momo in-between. Unlucky Iam :(  I grabbed same momo. But luckily I opened the momo  before eating found something different ; We asked them, they confirmed that it is non-veg momo.
Since then, we stopped going to that restaurant & I stopped eating momo from restaurant which serves both veg & non-veg. In case If I had to eat them, I will open each momo, before eating.
Also some restaurant serves momo's which are saltless or I can say tasteless :(

Usually Veg restaurant doesn't serve momo's. I had left with option of preparing at home. Both my hubby & fussy eater son likes them a lot. Hence thought of preparing them at home. At home, you can make many combinations..

Usually momo's are prepared from All purpose flour. I  don't use all purpose flour(maida). I replaced all purpose flour by whole wheat flour. The stuffing in the momo usually contains cabbage, carrot, onion & ginger/garlic paste. Since cabbage was not there, I replaced cabbage by sweet corn.
