Momos are a type of South Asian dumpling originating from Tibetan cuisine, popular across Nepal, Bhutan, and Northeast India. Typically, they are made with a thin dough wrapper filled with a savory mixture, often including finely minced meat (like chicken, pork, or lamb), vegetables (such as cabbage, carrots, and onions), and aromatic spices. Momos are usually steamed, though they can also be fried or pan-fried. Steamed momos are a healthier choice, as they are low in fat and rich in protein and fiber, depending on the filling. Vegetables in the filling add vitamins and minerals, while whole-grain flour for the wrapper boosts nutritional value. However, fried versions and sugary dipping sauces may increase calorie and fat content. Momos are delicious and relatively balanced, but moderation is key, especially with less healthy cooking methods or excessive sauces.
