The video begins with oil being poured into a pre-heated pan. The steamed momos are dunked into the pan and tossed up and down. Once they have blackish marks, the momos are drained of all the excess oil. Then chopped vegetables like carrots, onions and beans are added to the momos which are further cooked, but on fire. Oil is continuously added from one hand while the momos are tossed in flames with the other. Then a plethora of sauces are added to the momos like ketchup, red chilli sauce and schezwan chutney. All of this is mixed together properly till the sauce thickens. Then the momos are transferred onto small paper plates and served.
These saucy and gravy momos look extremely vibrant and tempting. These momos are being sold at a street side shop in Ghaziabad’s Jaipuria Estate by a native of Darjeeling, as per the caption.
