- Pieces]
- Momo wrappers (wheat flour), 150g minced chicken, 100g total minced cabbage/onion,
- tsp garlic-ginger paste,
- tbsp super-spicy chili chutney,
- tbsp mayo-style sauce.
- Forcefully opening the lid of a giant multi-tiered aluminum steamer billowing with steam reveals beautifully pleated Momos (Tibetan dumplings) packed tight with spiced minced chicken and veg filling.
- Upon order, swiftly arrange 6-
- piping hot, glossy Momos on a small paper plate.
- Here is the Indian essence. The vendor mercilessly pours 'eye-poppingly spicy bright red chili chutney'—intensely flavored with garlic and ginger—heavily over the Momos' heads.
- Furthermore, serve a mild mayo-style sauce (or mint chutney) alongside to neutralize the burning heat. The rich meat juices overflowing the moment you bite through the hot skin, paired with the chili sauce's violent tongue-piercing heat, make this a premium street snack causing sweats even under a cold sky.
