There is hardly any food that does not love momos. Traditionally stuffed with vegetables, meat or cheese, they are usually served boiled or fried. But in recent times, we have seen some bizarre combinations of this popular snack. However, have you ever heard someone call the beloved Modak of India a Momo? Well, this has recently happened, and the Internet cannot reach it.
A food vlogger shared his experience of eating a modak, which referred to as a “sweet momo” filled with coconut and jaggery. In the viral Instagram clip, he cuts the modak in half to reveal his delicious filling. The text on the video reads, “The best sweet momo in Mumbai was! These talents filled Momo with coconut and jaggery.” In the caption, he read, “Wow! I didn’t know that sweet momos exist!”
Since shared, the video has seen more than 3 million times on Instagram. Many people had a hurry to indicate that the dish in the clip is actually a traditional Maharashtrian dessert – Modak – not a Momo. Many people also invited Vlogger out to wrong sweet sweet. Others said that this could be a fun and deliberate comment, because people are very fond of momos.
