The variety of available street food is what immediately comes to mind when we think about Indian cuisine. Indian street food is all about indulging, offering everything from spicy to mild to sweet to fried, grilled, and even baked options. Momos are a popular street food that has won many people over. Some people prefer steamed momos, while others favour tandoori momos. However, we have a great recipe for jhol momos that you absolutely must try if you want to add a taste variation to this dish. Momo Jhol Achar, also known as Jhol momos, is a speciality of Kathmandu that is served in a flavorful soup.
