Chicken Momos in 2 Ways

Chicken Momos is a steamed dumpling that is native to Nepal! Oh my God, this is such an amazingly flavorful treat for you guys! That soft dumpling with fresh flavored filling is surprisingly delish for me! I mean i never expected this cute little pouch to be so flavorful! hehe!

It was always there on my bucket list and I was wondering why I didn’t try it yet! I never imagined this steamed dumpling is a flavor blast and the spicy stir-fried one will be a great treat for spicy food lovers! I remember, once I tried this from outside, it didn’t taste so good and I guess that’s the reason why I delayed in making this.

Kashif my elder son is insisting on me to make it again, with a demand that this time please make it in a larger quantity! Really? hehe! Yes, it’s a must-try recipe and one of my go-to recipes from now onwards! Do try it guys!
