@mauliksakhare , yea I did find the fix. I was a small bug in nodemon version. Check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47800466/nodemon-inspect-debug-not-working/47816378#47816378 for more. – Pramesh Bajracharya Dec 20 '17 at 13:47

Currently, "--debug" is deprecated, instead use "--inspect".
Simply type: $ nodemon --inspect app.js
You'll see the output like so:
[nodemon] 2.0.4
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching path(s): *.*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,mjs,json
[nodemon] starting `node --inspect server.js`

For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
Debugger attached...
To open the GUI debugger, open Chrome browser and type in the URL field:
[ chrome://inspect#devices ]
You'll see at the bottom of the opened page:
[ Remote Target
#LOCALHOST
Target (v12.18.3) trace
app.js
file:///[your local path of the app.js ]
inspect
click to inspect you'll see the debugger ... enjoy it ...
