Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tsp Salt
- Water as needed
For the Filling
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese grated
- 1 Onion chopped
- 2 tsp Garlic minced
- 1/2 cup Bell Peppers capsicum, chopped
- 1 tsp Pepper black, crushed
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- 2 tsp Oil
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Kneading develops gluten, which gives the momos their structure. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and translucent.
- Add the crushed black pepper, garam masala, and salt to the pan. Stir to combine. Then, add the grated paneer. Stir-fry for another minute until heated through. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 4-5 inches in diameter.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled paneer filling in the center of each dough circle. Moisten the edges of the circle with water. This helps seal the momos tightly. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges firmly to seal.
- Steam the momos in a steamer basket or idli stand for about 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through and plump. Steaming ensures the momos are light and healthy.
- Serve the hot paneer momos immediately with your favorite red dipping sauce.
