  Are you a working mother who struggles to find a balance between quick and easy meals and wholesome snacks for your kids? You need to unlearn everything else and explore the world of chicken fried momo and different kinds of steam momos that can be improvised with your child's likes and dislikes with just a few simple tweaks. To begin with, you need to swap deep-fried momos for pan-fried or steam momos: One of the easiest ways to make health-friendly momos for kids is to swap out fried momos for pan-fried ones. While fried momos may be crispy and delicious, they are often high in fat and calories.

Here’s How to Easily Steam Momos without a Steamer

Momos are one of the most recognized street foods in the world. From the hills of Nepal to the street-side of Queens, Momos have become synonymous with street-food.

Delicious and Easy Homemade Snacks

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are enough to keep your mind and body working well, but getting hungry in between these meals is only normal. When you’re at office and working, chai breaks with colleagues are a common occurrence and a couple of biscuits, a samosa, or a vada pav at the tapri is a given with the tea.

Momos That You Can Enjoy Guilt-Free

  Who doesn’t love a plate of momos – ones with a thin covering, a very succulent and juicy filling, and a deliciously hot tomato chili sauce as an accompaniment? While steam momos taste great, the pan-fried ones add more texture to the dish just like the deep-fried counterpart. Chicken momos are deemed as the reigning supremacy while other meat momos follow.
