Momos is a type of Dumpling, which was originated in Tibet. Over the years, it has become a popular snack in India. You can play with the fillings. Fill it with cauliflower, mix veg, paneer, chinese veg, anything . they taste good with any kind of filling. I don't use too many spices or sauces for the filling. Also to make it healthy you can always use Whole Wheat Flour instead of All Purpose Flour. It goes well with Schezwan sauce but one may want to keep green chutney as an option.
These days you will find lot of variations to momos. You can make several dishes with these, once you learn the basic recipe.
