I first ate creamy momos at a small café in Delhi, and honestly—from that day on, my taste buds found a new love.
My first encounter with Creamy Garlic Momos
One day, I was at the market with my friends. A cool breeze was blowing outside, and I was feeling very hungry. Then I spotted a sign advertising “Creamy Garlic Momos.” We ordered it—and the first bite felt like a warm, simmering love.
Those soft momos , rich garlic cream sauce and a slight chilli flavour on top – everything was so perfect that I have not been able to forget it till now.
