Method
For the filling
(You could just mix all the ingredients under 'for filling' and use it but I prefer to cook it before stuffing.)
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the onions and garlic till it is translicent.
- Add the ground meat and fry till the meat becomes nice and brown.
- Add all the sauces, pepper powder and salt and mix well. The stuffing is ready.
For the wrapper
- Mix the flour, salt and 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 chappatti.
- 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 tblsp of the filling in the center.
- Fold the wrapper over the filling and seal the edges forming a half moon shape. You could also make other shapes.
- Place the momos on any steaming dish (like vegetable steamer, idli plates, dhokla stand)
- Steam on medium flame for 15 minutes
- Serve hot with some spicy chutney, sauce or pickle.
Tips
- You could use store bought wonton wrappers and make momos instantly.
