Momos with a Twist


By  on May 18, 2013


Delhi is known for its love for food. It is often said that if you offer a Delhiite something delicious, it will be well received and will become a part of its food culture. When it comes to the famous delicacy Momos, they surely love to innovate with their food.
Momos or Dumplings which are native to the north east have been able to excite the taste buds of the Delhiites.  The momos are popular among Delhiites and have made it into the list of Delhi’s favourite street food items. Momos are generally filled with a variety of stuffings which include chicken, lamb or vegetables. Streets and by lanes in Delhi are dotted with makeshift vendors selling momos.
These delicacies literally sell like hot cakes. They are the perfect snacks and can be had on the move. The momos are served with a hot and fiery sauce which goes perfectly well with the momos and accentuates the great flavour to dumplings.
Delhi surely knows how to try different flavours and delicacies as also innovate with their food. An interesting attempt is to fusion momos with mayonnaise. This non spicy sauce offers a subtle twist to momos and it actually tastes well.

Momos with Mayo
The mayonnaise is perfect for those who don’t like spicy sauce. In fact the zestiness and creaminess of the mayonnaise and the saltiness of the momos is a great combination and will tantalise any taste bud.  It woud be fair to suggest that Momos and Mayonnaise are perfect examples of experimentation of food and flavour.  It is a representation of amalgamation of culture, cuisines, tastes and flavour. Whether you love your food spicy or not, people in Delhi will come out with something special for you which will blow your mind away and suit your palette.  Next time you visit your local momo kiosk, do not forget to try this new invention.
