Multigrain Veggie Momos

image imageMomo is a type of steamed bun with or without filling. Momo is a traditional delicacy in Nepal, Tibet ,among Nepalese/Tibetan communities in Bhutan, and also the North Eastern part of India. It is one of the most popular fast foods in many regions of Nepal . It is mostly stuffed with different types of meat. Over the years ,Vegetarian Momos have also become popular with different varieties of Vegetarian stuffing. I have made Momos many times. But this time I have tried the Multi Grain Momos. This is far more healthy and Nutritious. My kids love this and I find it easier to incorporate Multi Grains into their diet.

  1. This is so creative, so healthy and so yummy. If such nutrient rich ingredients can be incorporated in the dishes we love then what a health loaded life we all will enjoy. I have bookmarked this must try dish. Very nice.

  2. Oh! I used to go with friends to a Tibetan restaurant near here, and almost always got momo – we’d order several kinds, and share.

    Then I didn’t get there for a while, and now it has closed… So I’m delighted to be able to make them myself!

  3. I have never been to Nepal (on the list) but enjoy our local Nepalese restaurant. I can’t say I have ever seen momo on the menu, but I am going to look and ask if they don’t/ I will also try these at home. Is there a substitute ingredient if you can find maida?
