Momos recipe

One street food that has populated every street of India is Momos, and I think you will agree with me. I see at lease 1 Momo stand on my way to home.
I love momos, and I have been having them way before they were too common, I mean I am talking about the late 90s. I have loved these little dumplings since then.
