If you ask someone who loves momos if they want to eat some today, they’ll almost never say no. Even though momos are usually served in many cafes and restaurants, there’s something special about enjoying street-side momos with your friends. A unique style of momos is currently popular in Delhi, and all momo fans are heading to the GK-1 market in South Delhi to try these viral “popcorn momos” sold by a simple street cart called ‘Catlee Momos’. A video of these tiny and delicious-looking bite-sized momos was recently posted on Instagram by Gaurav Wasan (@youtubeswadofficial), and it has gone viral, receiving over a million views.
The small and “light-weight” popcorn momos are roughly 2 inches long and have recently gotten more popular through social media, attracting large crowds every day.
“My momos have been famous for a long time, but yes, we have also become popular on Instagram now,” cart owner Catlee says in the video. “I am happy people wait at the cart for these momos, thanks to the fan following.”
Popcorn momos are available in veg and non-veg and also with paneer fillings and are served with three varieties of dips – spicy chutney, mayonnaise and garlic chutney. One plate has roughly 15 pieces of popcorn momos. “Catlee momos is located at N block, GK-1 market, New Delhi from 6 pm till stock last,” the viral video’s caption shares for anyone interested in trying these trending momos.
