Fast Food- Delhi Style –Chinese Chat and Momos

Delhi, we all know is famous for its Chat items …Aloo Chat, Aloo Tikki, Pani Poori, Chat Papdi etc.

Though I am from South, thanks to my friends from all states, I developed a taste for these items .

Now there is a new item in the markets….called Chinese Chat which includes a combination of all Chinese appetizers such as Chicken Munchurian, Chicken Winglets, Chilli Chicken and Ginger Chicken etc for Rs 50 .

Similarly veg items too are available.

The way they have been laid out is so good…that mouth starts watering….I wish I could post a pic of it.

Another Craze is Momos, a Tibetan delicacy which is prepared with maida stuffed chicken or vegetables by steaming. It is a contribution from North Eastern States.

So no hazard - health wise ( and is better than fried items )…is a big hit …It has both Veg / Non Veg versions.



It is served with a Chilli chutney which is quite spicy and hot.

Any one visiting Delhi, try them .

I saw your post at a time when my stomach was rumbling within. And yes, I did drool.

I think the momos are referred to as dumplings. Actually, the Chinese cuisine which we get here is a bit indianized. The original chinese food, to me, tasted "yuck".

rajesh, your post reminded me of the spicy chilli gobi stalls on the walkway leading to VOC park. Mmm.....
