❌ Common Mistakes in Making Momos – And How You’ll Avoid Them:

  • Too Thick Dough – Makes the momo chewy. We’ll show you how to get it just right.
  • Overstuffing the Filling – Leads to tearing or leaking while steaming.
  • Dry or Watery Filling – Causes poor texture or soggy wrappers.
  • Uneven Rolling – Results in undercooked or overcooked spots.
  • Oversteaming – Makes the momos rubbery.
  • Skipping Rest Time for Dough – Makes it hard to shape and seal.
  • Not Sealing Properly – Causes the momo to burst while cooking.
