Momo reminds me of North Bengal,Sikkim,Gangtok,Darjeeling,Kurseong and ofcouse how can I forget Lachung in Sikkim
where I ate the most delicious vegetable momos fresh,healthy and super yummy.Tried out those momos in my kitchen and it turned out so good.My family members enjoys and had so many momos without any guilt as they  were not a deep fried food.Don't worry about the shape,practice will make you perfect.These are chicken momos but you can make with veg momos too the same way.Any kind of steamer will work if you have a momo steamer.
