Momos are a kind of dumpling popular in Nepal, Sikkim and Tibet and are similar to Chinese pot sticker. Momos are made of flour and dough with water. White flour is generally preferred with yeast and baking sida to give that doughy texture.
You can use any kind of filling, Pure veg filling made of cabbage or nonveg have so many varieties like, chicken, prawn/shrimp, pork etc.
