Vegetable Momos

Ingredients

For cover

• 1 cup maida
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp oil

For filling

• 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
• 1/2 cup finely grated carrots
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper (capsicum)
• 1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
• 1 tsp oil
• Salt to taste

Method

• Make a tight dough of the maida, salt and oil with water. Knead the dough well and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• In a non stick pan heat, heat oil. Add ginger garlic paste, chopped cabbage, carrot, capsicum and vinegar.
• Add salt to taste and saute well for 4 to 5 minutes on low-medium flame.
• Add red chilli powder and chopped green onions and sauté for minute. Let the mixture cool a little.
• Take a large lemon sized ball of the dough and roll it into a very thin circle.
• Using a cutter cut 10 cm diameter circular pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
• Put one spoon of filling in the centre of the rolled out dough. Wet the edges with water.
• Gather the edges in a neat pleated form to make it look like a conical bundle. Pinch the edge to seal it.
• Place all the momos in a steamer and steam it for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Serve hot with red and green chilli sauce.
