AIIMS Issues Health Warning: Chew Momos Properly And ‘Swallow With Care’
Don’t we all adore momos? Momo, a soft steamed flatbread filled with meat, vegetables, or paneer, is the epitome of pleasure. Oh, and don’t forget about the delicious momo chutney on the side! Have you started slurping yet? Let’s agree we can easily have plates of momos in just no time. But did you know that gulping momos without chewing them properly can be hazardous?! That’s right! Delhi’s All India Institute Of Medical Sciences recently issued a warning, after a man lost his life after choking on a momo. AIIMS recently published a report in the journal Forensic Imaging where it explained a rare case of a man dying after choking on a momo. The man was in his 50s.
According to reports, the momo became trapped at the aperture of the windpipe during the post-mortem. As a result, physicians concluded that he died as a result of choking on the food. Following the discovery of this case, specialists issued a’swallow with caution’ warning.
The physicians went on to say that the momo’s slick texture and small size may be to blame for the difficulties. As a result, we must chew the momos thoroughly before ingesting.
Based on the foregoing, we believe that this was a one-of-a-kind circumstance that can be handled with a little more care. We can’t give up on momos, after all. To lift your spirits, we’ve compiled a list of delectable momo recipes for you to try at home.
