Although it all started with simpler versions of the dish, just boiled momos with different fillings inside, soon the tide took a sharp turn and stall owners introduced bizarre versions of the classic steamed delicacies.
There¡¯s the malai version, the tandoori version, the fried version, and even the chocolate version. Whatever you can imagine, there¡¯s sure to be a place selling it. Well, all this talk of momo stalls makes one wonder about the logistics behind setting up such a stall and even makes people curious about the profits these owners are making working from the streets of Delhi.
A curious content creator and YouTuber, Aradhana Chatterjee, got intrigued by this form of business. So, to quench her curiosity, she approached a street-side momo-wala. She talked to a momo stall owner who has been in the business for nearly 21 years.
He explained, ¡°I get 300-400 customers every day. An average customer spends around Rs 40 to Rs 60 on the stall. I keep my stall open for the whole of the week and earn Rs 10 for a plate I sell for Rs 50. So, my profits are around 20% of my sales.¡±
The Monthly Profit Calculation Surprised People On The Internet
Calculating his daily earnings from the information the momo stall owner gave, Chatterjee concluded, ¡°With a profit margin of 20%, he makes around Rs 3,500 out of his total sale of Rs 17,500. That amounts to Rs 1,05,000 a month, which is far above than the average earning Indian who earns above Rs 32,000 a month.¡±
Hearing these calculations, folks on the internet were pretty sure they would much rather open a momo stall than drag their feet at work. Even though the creator did not specify the hidden costs of fuel, electricity, and such, the calculations still blew people¡¯s minds. One user declared, ¡°Ab toh momo hi bechna hain bhai.¡±

While one cared less about the profit than the momos themselves, ¡°Nice close-ups ¡ now I wanna eat some momos as well.¡±
