Chop the veggies

Prepare the ginger garlic paste

  • Make a fine paste.

Prepare the stuffing

  • Add all these ingredients into a mixing bowl along with the minced chicken.
  • Mix them nicely until all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Keep this aside and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the dough

  • For the dough, add flour in a large mixing bowl and salt to taste.
  • Mix the dry ingredients and then start adding water in small quantities.
  • Mix the flour continuously until everything starts to come together.
  • Next, kneed it into a soft yet tight dough ball. This should take around 8-10 minutes.
  • Cover the dough ball with a damp cloth and set it aside for around 10-15 minutes.

Heat some butter

  • Take a cooking pot or a kadhai and add some butter.
  • Keep the flame on medium and let the butter heat.

Add the chicken

  • Stir continuously until the water from the chicken dries a bit and then add the soy sauce.

  • Mix everything nicely for two more minutes and transfer the mix into a bowl.

Prepare the momo

  • Now, divide the dough into small dough balls.
  • Take one small dough ball on a rolling board and roll it out into a thin circular shape.
  • Put the filling into the momo skin and make the shape of your choice while closing it (apply water at the edges to stick it well).
  • Repeat this process with all the dough balls.

Steam the momos

  • Next, take a momo steamer or an idli steamer and add water.
  • Brush some oil on the parts where the momos are to be kept for steaming. This will prevent the momos from sticking (you might also use butter paper).
  • Put the steamer on flame and let the water boil.
  • When the water starts boiling, put the prepared momos and cover it.

Serve the momos

  • Let it get steamed to perfection and then transfer it straight onto the serving plate.
