Our take
CleanPlate reviewFrozen chicken momos in a wheat-flour wrapper
Prasuma Original Chicken Momos list chicken meat, refined wheat flour (maida), onion, butter, water, ginger, coriander, salt, spices and condiments, and flavour enhancer (INS 631). The pack holds 24 pieces with a momo sauce, and the panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it DA2. The D for nutrition is low: only 8.37 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by chicken meat, refined wheat flour and onion), with additives that cost points: a flavour enhancer. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 225 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 4.06 g per 100 g).

Myth: "The sauce is free"
The sauce is packed in with no ingredient list, so its sugar and sodium are not counted.
