Cooking

For Momos Dough

• Add all-purpose flour, salt, oil in a Mixing Bowl and mix them well.
• Add water in parts and knead to a firm dough. Cover the dough and keep it for rest 20-30 minutes.

For Vegetable Stuffing

• Heat oil in a Kadai or Skillet and add finely chopped garlic. Sauté for few seconds on medium-low heat.
• Add spring onion whites and sauté for few seconds on medium-low heat. Now, add all the chopped vegetables.
• Stir fry the vegetables on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Remember do not burn them or brown them.
• Then, add soy sauce, salt and black pepper powder.
• Switch off the heat and add the chopped spring onions greens. Mix well.
• Taste and adjust salt, pepper or soy sauce, if required. Keep it aside until it cools completely.

Shaping Momos

• Make equal size balls from the momos dough and cover them with a moist cloth.
• Now, take each dough ball and roll each dough ball into a thin circle of about 3 to 4 inches in diameter (keep edges thin and center thick to hold stuffing). If required dust the surface with flour.
• Place 2 tsp of vegetable stuffing in the center.
• Lift one side of the edge and start pleating. At the end, join the pleats in the center.
• Prepare all momos same way and keep them covered under a moist cloth.

Steaming Veg Momos

• Heat 1.5 to 2 cups water in a Steamer or in a Pressure Cooker. Let the water come to a boil.
• In a greased Steamer Pan or in Idli Stand, place the prepared momos with some distance from each other. Steam them for 5 to 6 minutes. The steaming time may vary upon the thickness of momos’ cover. Do not overdo the steaming. They seem transparent once done.
• Once done, remove them on a Serving Tray .
• Serve Veg Momos with a spicy chutney or sauce.
