No one can deny that momos are ever delightful! While you can always savour momos that are widely available at street-side carts, nothing beats homemade momos. Usually, you get two options for momos, vegetarian - with a filling of cabbage, carrots and capsicum, and non-vegetarian momos- with a filling of minced chicken. But, here we bring you the recipe of soya paneer momos, which give a creamy twist to the regular momos with a stuffing of grated cottage cheese (paneer). Ground soya chunks or soya granules add density and a nutty flavour to the momos. Both the foods are super rich in proteins, so you won't mind feeding your family with it. Although, this recipe uses all-purpose flour, you can replace it with wheat flour to make the momos healthier.
