Ingredients
- 200 gm All-Purpose Flour purpose flore
- 1 tsp Salt 1 cup oil, or as per taste
- 1 cup Cabbage grated
- slices Bell Peppers half
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic crushed
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Food Colour green half tsp, or orange, or saffron for orange petals saffron
- 1/2 tsp Coriander daniya half
- cup Coriander dhania, half
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine flour, oil, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing with your hands to form a smooth, pliable dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Make the Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add grated cabbage and chopped capsicum. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Close the lid and cook for another 2 minutes to help the vegetables soften further.
- Season with salt, pepper, coriander, and food coloring. Mix well and cook for another minute. Set aside to cool completely.
Shape the Momos
- Divide the dough into three equal portions. Add food coloring to each portion (green, orange, and leave one portion plain). Roll each portion into a thin circle (like a large roti).
- Use a cookie cutter or a round bowl to cut out numerous circles from each colored dough.
- Arrange 3-4 circles of alternating colors vertically, creating a flower shape. Add a spoonful of filling to the center.
- Gently gather and pleat the edges of the circles together to enclose the filling, creating a flower shape.
Steam the Momos
- Place the momos in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and the dough is translucent.
Serve
- Serve immediately with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Flower-Shaped Cabbage Momos
- For perfectly soft momos, ensure the filling is not too watery. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated cabbage before adding it to the pan.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a little more water.
- Experiment with different food colorings or natural alternatives like beetroot for pink or turmeric for yellow.
- Get creative with the filling! Try adding other vegetables like carrots, peas, or mushrooms.
