CleanPlate review

Paneer momos with a promo-card panel

Wow! Momo Chatpata Paneer Momos is paneer, refined wheat flour, onion, garlic, ginger, butter, coconut, curd and spices in a wheat-flour shell. The pack is 10 pieces of 24 g, about 240 g, and the panel is printed per 100 g with a 120 g serve.

CleanPlate scores it [L]EB3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 5.96 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The declared iron figure is not credited because the ingredients cannot supply it. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by paneer, refined wheat flour and chopped onion), and almost no additives. The [L] marks a declared value that the ingredients cannot support. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (400 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (2.72 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Chatpata Paneer”

    Holds

    Paneer is the first ingredient listed, though no percentage is declared.

  • On the pack

    “No Added MSG”

    Holds

    No MSG or flavour enhancer (INS 621-635) is listed.

  • Retail listing

    “Iron 5.25 mg per 100 g (35% RDA per serve)”

    Misleading

    Refined flour, paneer and vegetables supply about a third of that and no iron-fortified ingredient is listed.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Paneer, refined wheat flour, water, chopped onion, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, coriander green, butter, iodized salt, desiccated coconut powder, curd, paprika oleoresin, acidity regulator (INS 260), spices and condiments.

Per 100 g: 229 kcal, 5.82 g fat of which 2.72 g saturated, 1.34 g sugar of which 0 g added, 5.96 g protein, 400 mg sodium. The nutrition panel is the promo card (per 100 g, 120 g serve, 2 servings per pack); no pack-back photo was available. Energy matches the Atwater sum (229 kcal). The iron value is not credited, which costs 2 label points, and the ingredient shares are set by hand because the printed 5.96 g of protein cannot fit a paneer-first list, so the score is provisional. The Veg Darjeeling Momos listing carries a card with identical numbers.

Ingredients to watch

  • Promo-card panelConcern

    The values come from a promo card, not the pack back, and the iron of 5.25 mg per 100 g does not fit the ingredients.

  • SodiumWorth watching

    400 mg per 100 g, 67% of the 600 mg high line, about 480 mg in a 120 g serve.

  • ProteinWorth watching

    5.96 g per 100 g is under the 11 g high-protein line, even though paneer is listed first.

  • Saturated fatFine

    2.72 g per 100 g, about half the 5 g high line.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Paneer momos are high in protein"

Printed protein is 5.96 g per 100 g, below the 11 g high-protein line; refined wheat flour makes up much of the shell.

Myth: "Momos are a light snack"

A 120 g serve is about 275 kcal, with 38 g of carbohydrate per 100 g.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsOccasionally
  • ChildrenRarely
  • Diabetes or prediabetesLimit

Smarter ways to eat it

Plan the serve

The pack holds two 120 g serves of 5 momos, about 275 kcal each.

Add vegetables

A salad or sautéed greens on the side adds the fibre the panel does not list.
