Sure! Here's an easy recipe for tasty momos:

Ingredients: For the dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Water (as needed)

For the filling:

  • 1 cup finely chopped vegetables (cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped spring onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while kneading to form a soft and smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Saute for a minute until fragrant.

  3. Add finely chopped onions and cook until they become translucent.

  4. Add the chopped vegetables (cabbage, carrots, bell peppers) and sauté for a few minutes until they become slightly tender. Make sure to retain some crunchiness.

  5. Add chopped spring onions, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool down.

  6. Divide the rested dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin, circular shape using a rolling pin. The diameter of each circle should be around 3-4 inches.

  7. Take a dough circle in your palm and place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of the circle. Fold the edges of the circle to seal the filling and create a pleated pattern on top. Repeat this process for the remaining dough and filling.

  8. Place the prepared momos in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Steam the momos for about 10-12 minutes or until the dough becomes translucent and the filling is cooked.

  9. Once cooked, remove the momos from the steamer and serve them hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as soy sauce, chili sauce, or momo chutney.

Enjoy the delicious and tasty momos as a snack or appetizer!
