Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 3/4 cup Water add more if needed to achieve desired dough consistency, approximately
For the Filling
For Steaming
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil for greasing the steamer
- 4 cup Water for steaming
Instructions
Prepare the Filling
- Finely chop the onion, cabbage, carrot, and green chili. Mix well and add salt to taste. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow the vegetables to release moisture. Squeeze out excess water from the vegetable mixture using your hands. Stir in the ghee (if using).
Make the Dough
- In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and vegetable oil. Gradually add water while mixing until a firm, smooth dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until elastic. Cover and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
Assemble the Momos
- Roll out small portions of the dough into thin circles (about 3 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges of the circle together to form a pleat, sealing the filling inside. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Steam the Momos
- Grease a bamboo steamer basket or a metal steamer basket with oil. Arrange the momos in the steamer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Place the steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam for 10-15 minutes, or until the momos are cooked through.
Serve
- Once cooked, carefully remove the momos from the steamer. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, or a simple tomato chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Steamed Momos
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of ginger and garlic paste to the filling.
- Don't overfill the momos; otherwise, they may burst during steaming.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- For best results, use a good quality bamboo steamer. If you don't have one, you can use a metal steamer basket or even a colander placed over a pot of boiling water.
