MOMOS DISH RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring 3 inches of water in a large pot of water to a boil. You may also do this with a wok and steamer baskets.
• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, spinach, garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger, green onion, cilantro and salt. Place a spoonful of the filling onto a wonton wrapper; fold and crimp to seal. If necessary, wet the edges with water. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
• Set a steamer tray in the pot, and place the momos on the steamer. Steam over rapidly boiling water for 30 minutes. Serve with the dipping sauce.
• To make the dipping sauce, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil and grated ginger in a small bowl.

Steps:

• For The Filling
• Take ground chicken (or any other ground meat) in a mixing bowl.
• Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, spring onion greens etc.
• Add all the sauces, pepper powder and salt and mix well. The stuffing is ready.
• For The Wrapper
• Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.
• Knead it adding little water at a time to form a stiff dough.
• Divide the dough into lemon sized balls.
• Roll out the balls into thin chapatti.
• Using a small bottle cap or a cookie cutter, cut out small circles (about 3-4" diameter) of the rolled out dough.
• Keep these wrappers ready to make the momos.
• Making Momos
• Take a rolled and cut out wrapper and apply a little bit of water on the edges.
• Put a tbsp of the filling in the center.
• There are several ways in which the momos are shaped. One way is to start gathering the edges to form pleats. The simplest way to make is to fold the wrapper over the filling and seal the edges forming a half moon shape. You could also make other shapes.
• Similarly make all the momos. Place the momos on any steaming dish (like vegetable steamer, idli plates, dhokla stand).
• Steam on medium flame for 15-20 minutes.
• Switch off, let it cool for few minutes before serving.
