Are you even a street food lover if you don’t like momos? From steamed to pan-fried, veg to non-veg, momos are every foodie’s go-to snack. But in the era of food fusions, this beloved dish has seen some truly bizarre twists. You’ve probably come across fruit momos, momo omelettes, and even dry fruit momos. And now, joining the list are chocolate momos. Yes, you read that right. A video making the rounds on Instagram shows a street vendor whipping up this unusual creation. It starts with a dollop of butter in a pan, followed by some milk chocolate bars.
Next comes a splash of chocolate syrup. The vendor then adds a bit of water, stirring the mixture into a smooth, creamy consistency. Meanwhile, momos are deep-fried in a wok. Once crispy, they’re dunked into the chocolate sauce until fully coated. For plating, the vendor places the gooey momos on a paper plate, garnishes them with Cadbury Gems and KitKat pieces, and finishes with an extra drizzle of chocolate syrup on top. According to the post’s caption, these chocolate momos are available in Vivek Vihar, Delhi, priced at Rs 300.
