This lockdown craving for momos? They’re simple to make at home! They’re easy to make and quite tasty. You can also pre-prepare the dough by making it in the morning and then stuffing it later. The dough should be chilled for 3-4 hours before use.

For the chutney, You Can use a chili garlic sauce but you can make it with some tomatoes, garlic, onions, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Streetstyle veg momos are very simple to make at home. A wide range of combinations can also be tested. I enjoy corn, cheese and paneer momos, personally.
