The Momo Craze: A Journey with Radhika Apte & Divyenndu Sharma
Momos in India go beyond just being a snack; they’re a cultural phenomenon, almost an emotion intertwined with shared experiences and late-night cravings. In the latest episode of "Tere Gully Mein," we were thrilled to join renowned actors Radhika Apte and Divyenndu Sharma in an exploration of Versova, Mumbai, to discover the best momos in town. Little did we know that the adventure would also include a unique cooking session with these talented stars!
Momo Making Magic
In this energetic episode, the chef at Darjeeling Lepcha led Radhika and Divyenndu through the delicate art of momo-making. With expert guidance, they learned the intricacies of fillings and the fine points of folding these dumplings to perfection. It was a delightful sight as Divyenndu, with evident enthusiasm, crafted his first momo. Although it resembled a gujiya, the way he concentrated on wrapping the dough showcased his commitment to mastering this culinary art.
Not one to back down from a challenge, Radhika also showcased her skills with a creative take on the momo. Her version had resemblance to the classic modak, yet she added her flair to it, proving that creativity knows no bounds when it comes to culinary endeavors.
A Momo Faux Pas
Amidst the laughter and chatter, comedy ensued when Divyenndu humorously presented a ‘half-open momo’ due to a lack of space for folds. His playful demeanor not only entertained the watchers but also led him to jokingly suggest that this innovative creation should find its way onto the restaurant’s menu. Who knew that a cooking lesson could be so entertaining?
BFFs in Bollywood
As seasoned actors in the film industry, Radhika and Divyenndu have undoubtedly built meaningful relationships over the years. During our delightful chat, we asked them about their closest friends in Bollywood. Divyenndu mentioned his cherished friendships with Abhishek Banerjee and Pratik Gandhi, saying, "They are always there when I need advice."
Radhika chimed in, acknowledging their strong bond: "He is very honest, and we resonate on many aspects."
