The first thing that comes to our mind when butterflies are running in our stomachs is Momos.
Yes!
This mouth-watering dumpling food aka Momos is making our lives merrier and happier! Well! It’s still unclear on how exactly Momos came to India but probably it is a delicious outcome of Tibetan refuge or Newari merchants of Nepal who must have brought the recipe to India. But anyway it’s never enough to thank Tibetan or Nepalese to bring this scrumptious meal to India. The word ‘Momo’ originated from the Tibetan term ‘Mog Mog’ -thus MoMo. The dish spread along the caravan routes of northern and central Asia; thereby hitting the Indian subcontinent and the mountainous regions of North India.
