Egg momo, Delicious egg momos with vegetables, Try this now

November 17, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

Egg momo, another version of delicious & healthy momos. Such soft & white colored egg momos are a very favorite food of many Indian, Tibetan, Bhutanese & Nepalese people. Though egg momos are not so common one among the various other types of momos but still it is very popular among the certain section of people. 

In India, chicken momo, paneer momo and vegetarian momo are very popular and very easily available from a street food vendor, but when it comes to egg momo then it is exclusively available at the certain location and people love to have those and enjoy as their evening snack or even as dinner too.

Who should try egg momos?

There are many people who do not prefer meat but they like the egg, such people like egg momos very much. Many people who are vegetarian because of family food habit but still they have started consuming eggs because they do heavy physical exercise regularly or may be due to any other reason they can try this delicious momo.

Now you may start thinking then what about pure non-vegetarian people, is it not for them?

Yes, they also like these scrambled egg filled momos. I am also non-vegetarian and equally like chicken momo as well as egg momo. But when I was in Delhi, there I found only very few number of street food vendors who actually sell egg momos along with other types of momo. There was a street food vendor near Pitampura metro station, who used to make awesome egg momos. But here in Kolkata, there are some good egg momo sellers near my home and I found myself lucky for that reason.

Origin of momos.. Do you know this?

I do not have any idea about the origin of this food but some people claim it as Tibetan food but many Nepali people told me that it is their own traditional food. But I do not want to think too far about its origin as long as I found delicious momos are very widely available across this region. It is also popular in Bhutan, Darjeeling district and a few parts in North East India.

Why should you make egg momos at home?

But in case, such delicious egg momos are not available near your area or food are not so delicious at your area then you can try this at your own place. Definitely, you can make soft momos filled with eggs very effortlessly and of course, it is very cost effective as compared those available in your area, haha. That means once you learn to make this at home then you can have this at your place whenever you will want and the price will not be a primary factor for that purpose. Is it not true? What do you say?

Boil water in your steamer before you place egg momos inside it, it will save time and help in proper steaming of momos
You can add some othe vegetable of your choice (like carrot, green beans etc) but in such case you should reduce quantity of added cabbage, other wise you can get actual taste of egg momos
