Momos has a large fan following in India, upraised to be a part of our exclusive and popular street food ring over the last few years. With a couple of varieties to fulfil an individual's taste preference, momos are a great choice for an evening outing and even for tea-time meal at home. This year's lockdown period made momo lovers like us learn, practice, and ace the cooking process of momos - be it chicken momos or paneer momos or vegetable momos. You can't call yourself a true momo buff unless you've tried all possible versions of momos there can be. Egg momos are for all of us who want to explore the gastronomical world of India-specific Indo-Chinese cuisine.
An egg is full of proteins, and that's why it is so commonly consumed for breakfast almost every day. Combining the goodness of eggs with our favourite snack is our attempt at making momos healthier and guilt-free to eat. Bonus - you don't have to wait all day, you can have it for breakfast too.

1 small onion (or spring onion), chopped
1 capsicum, chopped
Half tbsp ginger-garlic paste
Salt to taste
1 tbsp soya sauce

Step 2 - In a pan, heat some butter and olive oil. Saute onions and ginger-garlic paste till brown.
Step 3 - Add chopped capsicum and saute for 5 minutes. Add soya sauce, tomato sauce, chilli sauce, salt and black pepper and saute for a minute.
Step 4 - Crack the eggs on the onion-capsicum mixture and stir to make scrambled eggs along with the mixture.
Step 5 - Stir till the eggs are cooked and turn off the gas.
