Veg Momos Recipe Vegetable Momos How To Make Veg Momos

If you ever travel to a hill station of India or stay in one, then there are few yummy treats you can’t resist like corn on the cob (bhutta) roasted on coal, roasted peanuts, Maggie and steaming hot momos with awesome momos chutney, usually sold by a Tibetan hawker. It’s not that you can’t find these treats in other cities but the whole experience of enjoying them on a cold night, walking on the mall road or sunset point or echo point (common in almost every Indian hill station) is unbeatable. The recipe which I am sharing today is one of these treats – Veg momos.

What are momos

Momo is a type of South Asian dumpling that is native to countries like Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and also a lot of Indian states where people from these countries live. It’s something similar to the Chinese dim sum. During my non-vegetarian days, I loved having chicken momos and could never understand why people eat vegetarian momos. This was the only dish that was unbearable to me in its vegetarian form. Thanks to my mother’s vegan momos recipe, in which she replaced the meat with soya granules, I slowly developed taste for veg momos also. My recipe in this post is quite similar to my mother’s recipe however since I didn’t have soya granules in my kitchen, I made momos using only vegetables but they also taste great. I will share my mother’s recipe of soya momos in another post soon.

How to serve

These vegan dumplings are served with a special chutney or dip called momos chutney. This chutney is very hot and delicious. It’s made with tomatoes, garlic and lots of red chilies. Most of the people who love momos can’t imagine having them without this sauce. However, if you can’t tolerate chilies in your food, either add fewer chilies to the chutney or enjoy it with any other dip of your choice. You can also enjoy momos with any clear soup.

Which vegetables are added to veg momos stuffing

The most common vegetables used in these Tibetan dumplings are cabbage, carrot, and capsicum. You can also add mushrooms, tofu, french beans, or any other vegetable you like in dumplings.
