Amid this lockdown, many of us miss our evening binge treats at the thelas near our home. From the veg to fried and chicken ones, the list of treats is as endless as as our hunger pangs. So if you have been craving momos lately, here is a nutritious take that you wouldn’t want to miss this weekend. Here is MasterChef India runner up Neha Deepak Shah‘s Whole Wheat Momos recipe that had our attention for its simple and healthy take.
Here’s what she had to say. “MOMOS 2.0. These are whole wheat momos and I can promise this is the best recipe for the momo skin anywhere ever. I must have eaten momos at my favourite place nearly 500 times and I have cracked their SECRET CODE. NOT AT ALL CHEWY and simply PERFECT!”
