Momos hold a special place in the hearts and taste buds of North Indians, as it is considered among the most beloved comfort foods. While the traditional steamed momos have their charm, in recent years, foodies have witnessed a creative evolution. Street food vendors have been experimenting with the beloved food item, which includes tandoori momos, pizza momos, Afghani, kurkure momos, pan fried momo, among others, offering unique options for enthusiasts.
Now, a viral video by a food vlogger has sparked curiosity among social media users as the cafe owner has added a new twist to the dish, which is Pepsi Momos. The peculiar preparation caught the attention of foodies online, as the person can be seen preparing steamed momos, replacing water with Pepsi. Interestingly, even the momos’ colour also resembles Pepsi’s texture.
The video starts with the vendor replacing Pepsi with water in a steamer filled with raw momos. Confused with the process, the vlogger questions the vendor about this unusual method, to which the vendor explains that the cafe owner taught him to prepare momos using the beverage. The clip then reveals the final result as the steamer lid is opened. Using Pepsi instead of water can make the momos slightly sweeter in taste. Sharing the video, the Instagram vlogger asked, “Aapne kabhi Pepsi waale momos khaaye hain? (Have you ever eaten Momos Pepsi?)”
