Momos have become everyone’s favorite snack these days. But momos made from flour are not considered good for health because flour is heavy to digest and lacks fiber. If you want to enjoy the taste of momos without compromising on health, then use wheat flour instead of maida. Let us know the easy way to make healthy momos from wheat flour.
