White Sauce Momo

Momos are already India’s favorite street food, but the White Sauce Momos trend has taken things to another level! Instead of serving them with the usual spicy chutney, these momos are tossed in a luscious garlic-flavored white sauce that’s cheesy, creamy, and absolutely indulgent.

This recipe is perfect for those who love momos but also crave something restaurant-style and Instagram-worthy. Whether you make it with classic veg momos or paneer/chicken momos, the rich coating of the sauce transforms it into a wholesome, fusion-style dish that tastes like a cross between Italian pasta and Tibetan dumplings.

Step 1

Prepare Momos Dough & Filling

  1. Mix maida, salt, and oil. Add water and knead into a soft dough. Rest for 15–20 mins.

  2. For stuffing, sauté onion, garlic, cabbage, carrot (and paneer if using). Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Let it cool.

  3. Roll out small dough discs, fill with stuffing, and shape momos.
