Crazy for Momos
by Iyath Adam
Momos are the ultimate comfort food and a filling, versatile snack to have on cosy nights.
If you’re unfamiliar with it, momos are a popular dumpling dish from Tibet, Nepal, and Himalayan regions, which is now much loved across South Asia. These little pockets of goodness are made from a soft dough and filled with vegetables or meat. They are usually steamed, pan-fried, or deep fried and can be served with a spicy dipping sauce.
Here, we have a list of some of the momo places in the Greater Male’ Area.
Nani’s Momos has dumplings with chicken, beef, prawn, and vegetable fillings – both steamed and pan-fried dry versions as well as in a spicy sauce too! They are available for delivery on both Avas Food and Foodies apps.
If you’re looking for unique and different types of momos, then you should definitely check out Gurkha’s Taste! In addition to the usual steamed and fried momos, they also have sadheko momos, tandoori momos, peanut sauce momos, Manchurian momos and Schezwan momos.
