Momos are one of the most popular snacks in North India and especially in Delhi. However, market momos are made from flour and the spices present in them can be harmful for health. These can cause weight gain, so those who want to lose weight often have to avoid eating them. But now you can eat healthy and guilt free momos. Let us learn the correct way to make them.
How to make Guilt Free Momos
1. Use flour:
Market momos are made from flour, which is not good for health. While making momos at home, use wheat flour instead of plain flour. To make it more nutritious, add some ragi powder to the flour. Wheat flour is rich in fiber and nutrients, making this snack healthy.
2. Protein Rich Filling:
Use nutritious ingredients for filling.
Vegetables: Include vegetables like carrots, cabbage, capsicum, and peas.
Paneer or chicken: Use paneer or chicken for protein.
The combination of vegetables and proteins makes momos delicious and nutritious.
3. Healthy way of cooking:
Cook momos by steaming instead of deep frying.
By steaming, it becomes oil free and low-calorie.
Steaming retains the nutritional value of the momos filling.
4. Choosing the right chutney:
Avoid hot chili sauces and mayonnaise, as they contain chemicals and more refined oil.
Make coriander-mint chutney, tomato-garlic chutney, or homemade mayonnaise instead. These are beneficial for health and tasty.
5. Eat in limited quantities:
Guilt free momos may be healthy, but eat them in limited quantities only. Eating in excess can have negative effects on weight and health.
