• Soy Sauce - 2 tblsp
• Chilli Sauce - 1 tblsp
• Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
• Salt - to taste
• Oil - 2 tblsp

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.
