I'm craving momos very badly, but I'm pregnant and worried about street food. Are momos generally safe to eat during pregnancy, or should I avoid them?
I ate steamed momos during my pregnancy and it was fine, but I avoided the super spicy red chutney because it caused terrible acidity later. Just make sure they are freshly steamed and hot.
Haha, pregnancy cravings are wild! Hot, steamed momos are fine, but stay away from that fiery red chutney unless you want your stomach to throw a tantrum later.
When I was pregnant, I had the biggest craving for momos and felt so guilty eating them. But my doctor said well-cooked, hot steamed momos from a hygienic place are totally fine.
I was always very cautious about what I ate. Street momos might have raw cabbage or unhygienic water, so maybe try making them at home to be completely safe.
I am in my 3rd trimester and honestly, if someone got me hot momos right now, I would cry with joy! Just make sure they are fully cooked and from a clean place, and enjoy your treat.
Since I had GD, I had to avoid maida completely. If you are eating momos, please check your blood sugar levels and try to have whole wheat ones if possible, but keep it in moderation.
