RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to make Momos Chutney:

  1. Boil about 1½ cups of water in a pot. Add tomatoes to it.
  2. Also, add red chilies to the hot water and boil on high for 5-6 minutes or until the tomato skin starts to peel off. Turn off the heat and let it cool down.
  3. Once cooked, turn off the heat.
  4. Remove the tomato skin and drain the excess water.
  5. Transfer peeled tomatoes, cooked dried red chilies, salt, sugar, ground black pepper, ginger, garlic, and vinegar to a blender jar.
  6. Blend to make a smooth puree.
  7. Transfer it to a bowl. Momos Chutney is ready. Keep it aside.

» How to Make Momos Filling:

  1. Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté for 2 minutes.
  2. Add chopped chilies and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Now add ginger-garlic paste and stir well. Sauté on high heat for 2 more minutes.
  4. Now add grated carrots, grated cabbage, chopped bell pepper, and 2 tablespoons of sliced spring onion greens.
  5. Stir everything well and cook on high heat for 3 minutes or until glossy.
  6. Turn off the heat. After that, add the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of sliced spring onion greens.
  7. Transfer it to a plate, and keep it aside to cool.

» How to Make Momos Dough:

  1. Add all-purpose flour, salt, and oil to a mixing bowl.
  2. Also, add milk and mix well.
  3. Now add enough water to make a smooth dough, just like chapati dough.
  4. Once the dough is ready, apply a few drops of oil to it.
  5. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

» How to Make Momos (Dumplings):

  1. Divide the dough into 14-15 equal-sized balls. Dust them with some dry flour.
  2. Roll each dough ball thin into about a 3? circle, or until almost translucent. The edges should be thin. Roll all the balls.
  3. Wet the edge with some water and place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.
  4. Bring one edge and start pleating as shown in the video above.
  5. Twist to seal the dumpling. Stuff the rest of the dough balls in the same way.

» How to Steam Dumplings:

  1. Heat water in a steamer or a pan. Cover the steaming basket with lettuce or cabbage.
  2. Arrange the momos on the steaming basket. (Make sure to have some space between them so they do not stick to each other.)
  3. Place the steaming basket over the steamer or pan and steam for about 10 minutes.
  4. Serve hot momos with spicy chilli chutney.

RECIPE NOTES

  1. I have used carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, and spring onions for filling. You can use any vegetables of your choice. Beans, green peas, corn kernels, boiled potatoes, or blanched broccoli taste great here.
  2. You can also add grated paneer, grated tofu, or halloumi cheese to momos filling to enhance the filling's richness.
