New Delhi, India – Sonakshi Verma, a college student, pushes her way to order a plate of momos from a corner shop on a busy market street in New Delhi. The noisy shop, which opens only in the evenings, is crowded with people eagerly anticipating their first bites of one of India’s most popular street foods.
“Ek plate veg momos, bhaiya [please give me a plate of vegetarian momos, brother],” Verma says, trying to get her voice heard above the crowd.
