Instructions

  • place the flour, oil and salt in a bowl. Mix well and slowly add warm water to make a smooth and soft dough. Cover with a lid and set aside. To make the vegetable filling, heat oil in a wide pan and add the garlic. Saute for a min, add the chopped green chilies and ginger and mix well. Add the chopped onions and saute for 3 mins till they turn translucent. Add the chopped carrot and cook for 3-4 mins on medium heat. Add the chopped cabbage and cook for at least 8-10 mins. Add soy sauce, black pepper powder and sugar and mix well. Turn off the heat and allow to come to room temperature. Just before placing the filling on the rolled out circle, add salt and mix. To make momos, knead the dough again for 2-3 mins and pinch out small lemon sized balls of the dough and dust with flour. Roll out each ball into a 3" or 4" diameter circle. Place a tablespoon of the prepared vegetable filling in the center of each rolled out circle. Beginning at one end of the flat circle, gather the edge to form pleats.Bring the pleats together to form a pouch-like dumpling and seal the top. Fill and shape all the rolled out circles into pouch-like dumplings. Cover them with a damp cloth to avoid drying out. Grease stainless steel steamer and place the shaped dumplings leaving a little space between each of them. Fill a pot that is large enough to place the steamer with 3" to 4" of water and bring water to a boil. Once the water coming to a rolling boil, place the steamer in the vessel and cover with lid. Steam on high heat for 10 mins. Serve hot.
