Looks lovely though I have never had momos that way before. Being a beginner, I have a couple of questions though!
Is the dough about as stiff as for puri, or different? Do you add egg to the dough?
When boiling chicken, do you salt it, or is it just plain?

As that post pre-dates yours, am I to assume that theirs is the original?
