Recipe- Street Style Veg Momos

Veg Momos or vegetarian dumplings are steamed dumplings stuffed with vegetable. Momo dumpling has a very delicate steamed covering which holds stuffed vegetables inside. Momos stuffing is made with grated cabbage, carrot, green beans, onion, garlic etc. My joy was double when my Nepali friend said: this is the best momos he ever ate.
