Momos originated from the Himalayan regions and gradually found their way into Bhutanese cuisine, becoming a beloved staple across the country. Initially influenced by Tibetan culinary traditions, momos have evolved uniquely within Bhutan, adapting to local tastes and ingredients.

Pan Fried Momos specifically gained popularity due to their appealing texture and versatility. Traditionally steamed, the method of pan frying momos was introduced as a delightful variation, enhancing their flavor and appeal. The variety of fillings reflects Bhutan’s rich agricultural diversity, allowing locals and visitors alike to experience a wide range of tastes.

Today, Pan Fried Momos represent not only Bhutan’s culinary creativity but also its openness to adapting traditional dishes, making them accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
