Momo is a type of East and South Asian steamed filled dumpling, popular across the Indian Subcontinent and the Himalayan regions of East-South Asia border. Momos are extremely popular among the natives of the Indian subcontinent, and can be found in every kind of shops from restaurants to street vendors. TANDOORI MOMOS is the new acquired trend that is gaining popularity all across the globe. Steamed momos (veg/non veg) is marinated in Indian spices and flavors. Later grilled in oven or even pan fried later smoked with coal to get that rustic aroma.
