Momos or Dim Sums are a super popular Indian Street food that originated from Tibet. Authentically made using all-purpose flour, they can be steamed, baked or fried.
Filled with the goodness of mildly flavoured veggies or proteins like paneer or meat, this savoury dish is best paired with a bomb spicy chutney!

And the most important part is shaping momos. It's an art which comes with practice. So, c'mon let's learn and savour this delicious art!
Ingredients:
(Makes 16-18 momos)
For the filling:
1 cup chopped cabbage
3/4 cup chopped carrot
1/3 cup chopped onion
1-2 chopped green chillies
1 tsp grated ginger
1/2 cup grated paneer
1/2 cup grated cheese
1 tbsp chopped coriander
Salt and Pepper, to taste
For the dough:
90g water
100g refined flour
Salt
To garnish and serve:
Spring onions
Chutney of your choice
Instructions:
1. Mix together cabbage, carrot and onion in a bowl along with salt as required. Cover and set aside for 15-20 mins.
2. Alongside, the dough, heat water to boiling. Add in salt as required.
3. Once it boils, turn off the flame and add in the flour. Mix well. This is known as gelatinisation. This helps prevent the chewiness of momos as gluten strands break apart during the process and the momos turn out super soft.
4. As it turns crumbly, transfer to a plate and knead while the mixture is hot. You'll get a dough as soft as clay.
5. Cover and set it aside.
6. Now, remove the filling onto a muslin cloth and squeeze out excess water 1-2 times.
7. Add in coriander, paneer, cheese and pepper. Mix well and set aside. Our filling is ready.
8. Preheat the steamer and place a banana leaf/ cooking sheet/ baking sheet. Alongside, pinch out small portions of the dough and keep them covered at all times.
9. Dip each portion into dry flour just once and roll out thinly. Keep the edges slightly thin and the centre slightly thick. Place some amount of the prepared veggie mixture in the centre and shape the momos as shown.
10. Place them into the steamer and steam on a high flame for 8-9 mins.
11. Once done, remove gently using a tong and serve hot with a spicy chutney of your choice
Enjoy!
Vishesh Tippani -
Squeezing out excess water reduces moisture and ensures that momos don't break.
Kneading the dough using the gelatinisation process yields super soft and non-chewy momos.
Keep the dough covered at all times to prevent it from drying.
Turn off the flame as soon as the water boils else the water will evaporate and the flour-water ratio will get disrupted, leading to an undesirable dough.
Preheating the steamer is very important.
Placing a banana leaf/ cooking sheet prevents momos from sticking to the surface of the steamer
