“Pinneapple momos,” reads the caption to the video shared on Instagram by video creator Jatin Kumar. The video shared by Kumar shows a street vendor making pineapple momos. He first cuts a slice of pineapple into small pieces and later uses them solely as fillings for momos. As the video progresses, the vendor seals the momos and steams them. He didn't stop here and deep fries them. Once the momos are crisp and golden brown, he plates them. Towards the end of this video, a man breaks momos into two to show pineapple as its filling.
