- Preperation time : 1 hour
- Cooking time : 20 minutes
Ingridients :
For dough -:
ؾ cup all purpose flour Ø1 teaspoon oil ØSalt
according to your taste
For stuffing -:
Ø 1 tablespoon oil Ø 3-4 cloves of garlic(finely chopped) Ø 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger Ø ½cup finely chopped carrot Ø ½ cup finely chopped cabbage Ø ¼ cup finely chopped capsicum Ø ¼ cup finely chopped green French beans Ø ¼ cup finely chopped onion Ø ¼ cup finely chopped soya sauce Ø 1 teaspoon chilli sauce Ø ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
Procedure
:
1. Finely cut all vegetables as mentioned in the
ingredients section.
2. Add 3/4 cup maida (all purpose flour), 1 teaspoon oil
and salt in a large bowl.
3. Mix
all ingredients well and prepare a soft pliable dough (like paratha dough) by
adding water as needed. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 20-25 minutes.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium flame. Add
finely chopped ginger and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add green onion and
sauté for a minute.
5. Add all chopped veggies (carrot, cabbage, capsicum
and green beans) and salt.
6. Mix well and sauté them for 4-5 minutes. Add 1
teaspoon chilli sauce.
7. Add 1/2 -1
teaspoon soy sauce.
8. Add 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder.
9. Mix well and sauté for a minute. Turn off the flame.
Stuffing for Veg Momos is ready.
10. Knead the dough again for a minute and divide it
into 2-equal portions. Give each portion a round cylindrical shape like
cucumber. Cut each one into 6-7 equal portions with a knife as shown in the
photo.
11. Give each small portion a round shape like ball and
flatten it a little into pattie by pressing it in between your palms. Cover
them with a wet cloth or a plate to prevent them from drying.
12. Place one dough pattie on a rolling board and roll
it out into a thin disc (approx. 4-5 inch diameter). Roll it from sides and
keep the center portion little thick compared to sides. If required, sprinkle
some dry flour while rolling.
13. Place approx. 1 tablespoon filling in the center.
Don’t over-stuff it, otherwise it will be difficult to get a proper “potli”
shape.
14. Lift the edge from one side and start pleating (fold
the edge a little inside and then little outside alternatively). Join them in
the center to seal it.
15. Prepare momos from remaining dough patties in a
similar way.
16. Grease a steamer plate or any other plate
(it should easily fit into the steamer or a deep vessel) with oil to prevent
them sticking. You can also line a plate with cabbage leaf instead of greasing
the surface with oil. Arrange Veg Momos on a plate in a way that there is some
space around them to expand.
17. Heat 1-2 glass of water in a steamer or a
deep vessel over medium flame.
18. Place stand in the steamer and place momos plate
over it. Momos should not touch the water. Cover the steamer/vessel with a lid
and steam them for 6-7 minutes over medium flame or until they look little
translucent and shiny. Remove the lid and check them by touching it. If they
don’t feel sticky then it means they are cooked.
19. Transfer them to a serving plate. Serve hot Veg Momos with Momos chutney or Schezwan
Sauce.
