The momos were good, but I found the dough to be a little too thick. I think I would roll it out thinner next time.

These momos were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices to the filling next time.

These momos were easy to make and tasted delicious. I used a store-bought dumpling wrapper, which made the process even easier. The filling was flavorful and the momos were cooked perfectly.
