Ingredients
- 150 gm Cabbage grated
- 50 gm Beans chopped, green
- 1 Onion finely chopped
- 20 gm Spring Onions
- 1 Carrot grated, large sized
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 200 gm All-Purpose Flour maida
- 1.5 tsp Salt or as per taste
- 1/2 tsp Oil
- 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, knead it in, and let the dough rest, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 20 minutes.
Make the Filling
- Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 20 seconds. Add finely chopped onions and cook for a minute. Add green beans and grated carrots, cook for 2 minutes. Stir in grated cabbage and cook for another minute until slightly softened. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Assemble the Momos
- Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 3-4 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pleating the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Steam the Momos
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Grease a steamer basket with oil. Arrange the momos in the steamer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Place the steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam for 13-14 minutes, or until the momos are cooked through and the dough is translucent.
Serve
- Carefully remove the momos from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving hot with your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Momos
- For extra flavor in the filling, add a pinch of garam masala or chili flakes.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Don't overcrowd the steamer basket, as this will prevent the momos from steaming evenly.
- To ensure the momos don't stick to the steamer, lightly grease the steamer basket with oil or butter.
