The Perfect Veg Momo Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • A pinch of salt
  • Water for kneading
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 green chili finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
  • Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth, elastic dough.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Filling:
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped cabbage, grated carrots, bell peppers, mashed potatoes, minced ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green chili.
  • Add soy sauce, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture. Ensure everything is well combined.
  • Shape the Momos:
  • Divide the rested dough into small, equal-sized portions.
  • Roll each portion into a thin, round sheet, keeping the edges slightly thicker than the center.
  • Place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of each dough sheet.
  • Fold and Seal:
  • Carefully fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
  • Seal the edges by pinching and pleating them together. Ensure there are no open gaps.
  • Steam the Momos:
  • Grease a steamer or steaming basket with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Arrange the momos in the steamer, leaving some space between them to expand while cooking.
  • Steam the momos for approximately 15-20 minutes until the dough becomes translucent and the filling is thoroughly cooked.

Notes

Once cooked, serve the veg momos hot with a side of spicy tomato sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
