Vegetable Momos

Vegetable Momos

The orgin of momo in Nepal is uncertain.Newar merchants brought the recipe and the name momo from Lhasa, Tibet where they were a traditional delicacy for centuries. They modified the seasonings of the dish with available ingredients, using water buffalo and kept the same name.

Basically, there are three types of momo, steamed, fried and pan-fried. Momo is usually served with a dipping sauce (locally called chutney/achhar), normally made with tomato as the base ingredient.

U can stuff momos with anything as u like,here I hav stuffed it with and vegetables. I cooked momos by spreading lettuce on the steamer.Lettuce is good source of vitamin A and Potassium.

Why we use lettuce to cook momos?

Lettuce is most often used for salads. Lettuce is a good source of vitamin A and potassium, which are eaten either raw or cooked. As well as a minor source for several other vitamins and nutrients. Despite its beneficial properties,contaminated lettuce is often a source of bacterial, viral and parasitic outbreaks in humans, including E. coli and Salmonella. In addition to its main use as a leafy green, it has also gathered religious and medicinal significance over centuries of human consumption.
