Momos, the steaming pockets of deliciousness, have become a staple in North Indian street food culture. Originally a Tibetan delicacy, these dumplings have found a special place in the hearts (and plates!) of food lovers across the region. Whether stuffed with vegetables, chicken, or paneer, momos are celebrated for their versatility and flavour. Served with spicy chutneys, they offer a burst of taste in every bite. Perfect for a quick snack or a cozy evening treat, momos have become a go-to comfort food for many.
Recently, a viral video on Instagram has put a spotlight on a unique momo stall in Pathankot, Punjab, called ‘Yum Dim Sum’ which has taken this street food classic to the next level. The video, which has been viewed close to 2 lakh times, showed the stall’s preparation of fish momos served with an impressive array of four different sauces. The shop prepares momos live, offering customers a firsthand experience of the entire process.
The video starts with a dough-rolling machine expertly shaping small, perfect rounds of dough. A vendor then fills these rounds with a flavourful fish stuffing, shaping them into beautifully crafted dumplings before steaming them to perfection. The stall also offers variations like fried momos, catering to individual preferences. The stall’s creativity and dedication have sparked curiosity and praise, showing that momos are not just food but an evolving culinary canvas. From traditional recipes to modern twists, these dumplings continue to capture the imagination and taste buds of food lovers everywhere.
A user said, “Never tasted momos like this before… Awesome.”
“You just saw it live today; they’ve been serving live momos here since 2013. Located opposite the Army Gate in Mamoon, they have the best momos,” a comment read.
Someone wrote, “Very very nice & healthy momos l love the taste.”
One person noted, “Truly enjoyed the taste of momos. You must try them at least once!”
However, a user recounted, “I had a very bad experience with the owner of this shop, his attitude is completely unacceptable, although the preparation is live but the taste is very bad, chutney was bad too, total hype, highly avoidable.”
If you are a momo enthusiast, this momo stall in Pathankot might just be your next foodie adventure!
