Kothmir, not dhania, kanda, not pyaaz, batata, not aloo, and where are the momos? These were among the many cultural shocks that greeted Mira Rajput Kapoor when she shifted from Delhi to Mumbai after marrying actor Shahid Kapoor. In a recent video on her YouTube channel, Mira claimed that, “there are no momos” in Mumbai — a rant we’ve often heard from our Delhi friends in the city. As someone who also faced a momo  crisis after shifting to Mumbai, this writer urges Mira and her fellow momo-lovers to dig a little deeper. From Andheri’s Suraj Lama’s tandoori momos to home chef Josie Paris Renthlei’s pork momos, and Ling’s Pavilion’s wontons and dumplings in Colaba to North-Eastern joint Thotrin Cafe’s thinly wrapped chicken momos, Mumbai offers plenty of options. But if you’re still not satisfied, you can learn how to prepare yourself a plateful at home.
