Ingredients

Cabbage : 2 cups finely chopped
Carrot finely chopped : 1 cup
5 springs Spring onions : 4 green part and white part separately chopped finely
6 cloves Garlic finely chopped : 5 or 1.5 tsp finely chopped
Ginger : 1/4 tsp finely chopped
Black pepper : 1/2 tsp
3 tsp White oil : 2
Salt : to taste
Maida : 2 cup
Soy sauce : 1 tsp
Vinegar : 1/2 tsp
Water : as needed.

Instructions

First take “maida” , add water (around 1.5 cup water is needed, keep adding water in small amount to prevent it becoming liquid, do not add all at once).
Mix it with water and kneed to form a soft dough like chappatthi dough.Leave this covered with wet cotton cloth for 1 hour.
On a high flame heat the pan. Add 2 - 3 tea spoon white oil to it.
Now first add chopped garlic, then spring onion white, then ginger (all chopped), sauté for half minute then add carrot and keep mixing.
Add cabbage,salt, black pepper and green spring onion fry on high flame for 2 minutes.Mix with soy sauce and vinegar .
Now remove the pan from flame.
The vegetables are only partially cooked.
Cut small balls(golf ball size) from the dough and roll it to make “poori” of 3 inch diameter.
Keep 1-1.5 tsp filling in the middle of “poori” and fold it in the shape of pouch as shown in the figure.
You can steam momos in a steamer for 5 mins.
:- If you do not have steamer at home, here I am showing you how you can cook it.
Take one cooking pot with lid, fill it half with water now keep this over the flame, put one metal roasting rack over it.
Now put one clean cotton cloth over this when steam starts to form.
Keep the momos over it and cover with a lid completely and let it cook in the steam for 10 minutes.
Cooked momos look shiny and little transparent.
Now serve with tomato chilly sauce. You can make it at home also or use a packaged one, as you wish.
:- Cup used here is tea cup, capacity approx of 200 ml or less.
