Momo, stuffed with boiled meat or vegetables and served with spicy chutney, are a top street snack for many among North Indians. Their smell, taste and low price make them hard to ignore. Now, this love
for Momo seems to be spreading beyond borders. A western content creator living in Saket, Delhi, recently shared how much he has fallen in love with the popular Nepali dish. In a fun video, he spoke about the IGNOU street, where Momo stalls fill the air with tempting aromas. He said even after eating momos just hours earlier, the smell made him want more.
The creator jokingly called it the “momo curse,” saying he can eat them all day without getting bored. He added that watching Indian street food videos and living around such food has changed him. According to him, momos have become a daily craving and he even wants to take them back to his home country to share with others.
A Western Creator Falls In Love With Momos
Taking to Instagram, he says, “I’ve got the curse of the momo guys. Even though I just had momos a couple of hours ago, walking down IGNOU right now, there are still so many good smells from all the street vendors and restaurants that I could maybe go for another momo. I think I’m becoming Indian because I can eat momos all the time. All the street food videos are amazing. Indian food is god, but I wanna bring my momos back home and give ’em a good eat for you guys. I’ve got the sack guys. I’ve got the sack of momos. We’re gonna go home to eat it. I’m so hungry. I love the IGNOU road at night. There’s no one around. usually this street is hustle and bustle, but it is nothing right now. I love the chaos, but I also love peace.”
