Instructions

  • Resting lets veggies to release all the moisture.
  • Take a strainer lined with a clean cloth. Put the strain on a pot.

  • Take out veggies into another bowl and separate them.
  • Add ginger, black pepper, green chilies, salt.
  • Add salt carefully as we already have added salt to veggies.
  • Add oil and mix well. Stuffing is already.
  • For Momos’ Chutney:
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, take dried red chilies.
  • Add 1 or tbsp water and add tomatoes.
  • Microwave the mixture on high power for 3 minutes.
  • You can remove the skin of tomatoes if you want. Let it cool down.
  • Transfer the mixer into a blender pot.
  • Add garlic, cumin seeds, and salt to taste.
  • Blend the mixture into a fine paste. You can add a little water to adjust consistency.
  • Add lemon juice and give just one pulse.
  • Take it out into a bowl. Momos’ chutney is already.

For Coating:

  • In a dish take maida.
  • Add salt to taste and oil.
  • Mix well to incorporate oil well in the flour.
  • Add a little water at a time and knead soft dough.
  • Transfer the dough into a bowl. Cover and rest it for about 30 minutes.

For Making Momos:

  • Take the dough and make a small portion from it.
  • Take one dough ball and roll a puri as thin as possible.
  • Add the stuffing at the center of the puri and lift both the edges.
  • Pinch one end. Fold the edge and pinch to another side.
  • Put the ready momos into a dish.
  • Take the pressure cooker and preheat about 1/4” water at the bottom of the cooker.
  • Place a pot in it. Put a dish that comes with a cooker over the pot.
  • Grease the dish really good with oil so that the momos won’t stick to it.
  • Transfer the momos on the dish.
  • Cover and steam momos on medium heat for exactly 10 minutes.
  • You can use idli cooker or momos cooker too.
  • Open the cooker and take out the momos into a dish. Momos are already.

Notes

  • If you use veggies without resting, then while steaming veggies will release all the moisture, Momos may open op or may turn clumpy.
  • So make sure to rest the veggies after mixing salt for at least 10-15 minutes. Squeeze out all the moisture from the veggies and then make the stuffing.
  • Don’t cook momos for more than 10 minutes. Otherwise, they will turn hard and chewy.
