Veg Momos Recipe! How To Make Momos at Home.

Craving for momos this lockdown? Make them at home quite easily! They’re simple to make and absolutely delicious. You can also pre-prep by making the dough in the morning and stuffing later. The dough can be refrigerated for 3-4 hours.

For the Momo chutney, I’ve used a chilli garlic sauce but you can make it with some tomatoes, garlic, onions, paprika, salt and pepper. 

 

 

Streetstyle veg momos can easily be made at home too. You can also experiment with a variety of stuffing combinations. I personally also love corn, cheese and mushroom or paneer momos.

Method/ How to make Veg Momos :

For the momos dough :

⚡️ Mix the maida, salt and oil with your hands first to make a crumbly mix. 

⚡️ Now add water little by little and make a medium dough. It should not be too hard or too soft. Knead properly for 7-8 mins. 

⚡️ Cover the dough with a wet cloth and leave for an hour aside. 

For the Momo stuffing :

⚡️ Heat oil in a pan. Add garlic, ginger, onions and sauté until golden brown with a pinch of salt. 

⚡️ Add the capsicum, cabbage, carrots, spring onion greens and sauté on high flame for 2-3 mins.

⚡️ Add the soya sauce, chilli sauce, vinegar. Mix and cook. Cool mix at room temp before stuffing. 

For making the momos : 

⚡️After an hour, remove the cloth and knead the dough for 2-3 mins. Make equal sized small balls. 

⚡️ Roll each ball into a thin circle with thin edges. Place around a tbsp of the mix in the centre of each circle and then pinch edges to form a Momo as shown. 

⚡️ Make 6-7 such momos. Meanwhile grease a steamer with oil. Heat it for 5 mins and then place momos on it. Cover and cook for 8-10 mins or until momos are translucent and cooked. You can poke one with a toothpick and see if it comes out clean, the momos are cooked.

⚡️ Serve hot with some Momo chutney/any sauce of your choice.
