Description

Tandoori Momos are a delicious and spicy twist on traditional momos, infused with the smoky flavors of tandoori spices. These dumplings are typically filled with a mixture of finely chopped vegetables or paneer, marinated in yogurt and tandoori masala, then grilled or baked to perfection. The tandoori cooking method gives the momos a unique flavor and a slightly charred texture, making them a delightful snack or appetizer. Served with tangy mint chutney or spicy tomato sauce, Tandoori Momos are perfect for those who love bold flavors and a bit of heat.
