Veg momos recipe

Simple and healthy snack recipe inherited from the traditional nepali cuisine. basically, it is plain flour based dumplings steamed with cabbage, carrot and spring onion stuffing. it has become a popular street food in india and is typically served with a red coloured spicy chutney. 👩‍🍳💕🌼

I had to serve them with a spicy sauce. I chose to serve the veg momos with schezwan sauce. I don’t like spicy filling for the momos. I keep the vegetable filling balanced in taste and lightly spiced, so that it accompanies the spicy and hot sauce very well. I love chicken momos also, obviously, I am not an expert in shaping them. But I have tried👩‍🍳
