“From Dry Fruit to Fruit: Delhi Street Vendor’s New Momos Spark Outrage Among Netizens”

Momos, the beloved Himalayan delicacy, have taken India by storm, with a particularly strong following among foodies in Delhi. From the iconic “kothe momos” in Majnu Ka Tila to the legendary “Dolma Aunty ke momos” in Lajpat Nagar, the national capital is brimming with momo hotspots that serve these delightful steamed, fried, or gravy-soaked dumplings. However, a new and bizarre twist on this classic dish has left food enthusiasts cringing: fruit momos, priced at ₹170.
A viral video shared by the Instagram food page @realfoodler showcases a street vendor preparing this “atrocious” creation, which has quickly gained notoriety. The vendor mixes a colorful array of ingredients, including fresh fruits, milk, liquid cheese, and cream, while sprinkling in salt, pepper, and mixed herbs for flavor. He then adds a plate of fried paneer momos to the concoction and serves it to an eager customer. “Aisa momos puri Delhi mein nahi milega!” he proudly exclaims (You won’t find this dish anywhere in Delhi), claiming it’s specially crafted for gym enthusiasts looking to up their protein intake.
The video has sparked a flood of reactions from viewers, with many flocking to the comments section to voice their disdain. One user quipped, “You forgot to add gunpowder,” while another humorously remarked, “Momos be like – My powers are being misused.” A third user sarcastically commented, “Fried momo for gym people. Brother, help me build my body; I will eat momos every day.”
