Steamed vegetable momos or steamed dumplings makes a perfect snack. Since it is filled with vegetables and steamed, it is very healthy compared to other fried snacks. You can even make these for breakfast or anytime when you have guests at home. Just that you need to keep the filling ready. Steaming the momos takes hardly 15 Min’s. I even recommend adding it to your kid’s snack box as being rich in vegetables you can ensure that your child eats healthy food.
I remember, I made chicken momos long back and when my kid was just born. Since then I never again made momos. So when Tupperware mailed me and said that they want me to review the Tupperware “Steam It” product, I immediately decided that I will make steamed momos. Steaming food eliminates/minimizes the need of oil and makes food healthier.It brings health and flavour together in a whole new revolutionary way.
