Hello everyone.🙋🙋🙋 I am back with my blog and this time as hinted in my last blog, an interesting well known snack. Sorry for the delay guys as you all know November is the month of festivals and I was busy too in the celebrations. So you all know I was introducing you the recipe of a very much liked snack, momos or in sikkim language known as dumplings. Momos, who doesn't love momos? These are steamed buns with filling. It typically consists of two parts- the cover and the filling. The cover is made of dough of white flour and water. Sometimes yeast or baking soda is also added to the dough to enhance the texture of the momos.
