I ordered fried momos for dinner today. I know to make this dish but it takes lots of time therefore I ordered them. I learned this dish from my sister-in-law who is from Nepal. In India the people of the North East make momos with different stuffing. I like the stuffings of cabbage and chicken.
My dinner today was fried chicken momos. The chilly chutney was tasty but very hot. I therefore took a little with it.
Do you get momos in your country?

I do not have those here but I do buy frozen spicy chicken patties.
I love chutneys.

I had the apprehension that they won't be available in the US.

It's prepared from white flour dough and minced chicken or vegetables. They are either steamed or fried. In the North East and Nepal they use pork and beef as stuffings.

@rebelann Pakoras are vegetables dipped in gram flour and fried. Momos are made from white flour dough flour balls stuffed with meat or vegetables and then steamed, baked or fried.

No, don't think so, not heard of momo before. I might nibble on chicken tenders and veggies... not too hungry ate a late brunch of fried saimin with vegetables & sliced Spam.

Momos are actually a dish from Nepal. What country do you belong to?

Momo is a dish from Nepal. They are available even in India. It's vegetables or minced meat stuffed into small balls of white flour dough and then, either steamed, baked or fried.

I was in Nepal with my husband years ago. I was there to organize a conference for my office.
We had an invite at a Nepalese household and there all these guys who came for the conference had a momo eating contest (lol) they were steamed and not fried.

It's mostly steamed one that can be eaten in a large quantity, the baked ones to some extent and the fried ones the least.

I like the fried ones. I like the steamed ones prepared by me at home because the steamed stuffings are not prepared by the restaurants well.

It the white flour dough stuffed with minced chicken and spices and then fried. It's very tasty with mint or chilly chutney or mayonnaise.

When I get Indian food here, I get curries. I try not to eat too much naan, so I can have room left for the various dishes. I love creamed spinach with lamb. I enjoy all of the chutneys. I don't know what to call them, but my favorites are red, green, and white (probably yogurt-based).

Momos are actually a dish from Nepal. My sister-in-law is Nepali and I learnt it from her. The red, green and white yogurt based is called raita.

It's white flour dough made into small balls and then stuffed with vegetable shreds or minced meat like chicken, pork or beef. The momos are then steamed baked or fried.
