Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 2 tsp Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3/4 - 1 cup Water as needed for kneading; add gradually
For the Filling
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 clove Garlic minced
- 1/2 cup Onion finely chopped
- 1/3 cup Carrot finely grated
- 1/2 cup Cabbage finely shredded
- 1/3 cup Bell Peppers capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Ginger finely minced
- 1/8 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/4 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, powder
- 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Chili Sauce
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Gradually add water, kneading until a smooth, soft dough forms. Cover and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.
Make the Filling
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Add chopped onions and cook until softened. Stir in grated carrots, shredded cabbage, and chopped bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.
- Season with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds, black pepper, soy sauce, chili sauce, and salt. Mix well and remove from heat.
Assemble the Momos
- Divide the rested dough into medium-sized balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle. Apply a thin layer of water around the edge of each circle.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each circle. Bring one side of the circle over the filling and pleat it three times, creating a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to securely seal the momo.
Steam the Momos
- Fill a steamer with 2.5 cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil. Place the assembled momos in a greased steamer basket, ensuring they don't touch each other. Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the momos are cooked through and slightly translucent.
Serve
- Serve the hot momos immediately with your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Wheat Momos
- For extra flavorful momos, add a teaspoon of finely chopped green chilies to the filling.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a few more drops of water.
- Don't overcrowd the steamer basket; ensure there's enough space between momos for even steaming.
- Experiment with different vegetables in the filling. Mushrooms, peas, or spinach are all great additions.
