Equipment

  • 1 Induction Cooktop
  • 1 Kadhai
  • 1 Momo Streamer
  • 1 Mixer Grinder

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup Chicken minced
  • 2 Onion medium
  • tbsp Ginger paste
  • tbsp Garlic paste
  • tbsp Green Chili paste
  • ½ cup Spring Onion chopped; optional
  • ½ cup Coriander leaves chopped
  • 1 tbsp Black Pepper powder
  • ½ tbsp Soy Sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • cup Maida All Purpose Flour
  • Water
  • Butter
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Chop the veggies

  • First, start by finely chopping the onions.
  • Next, wash the spring onions and coriander leaves well and chop them.

Prepare the ginger garlic paste

  • Next, take a blender and add the ginger, garlic, and green chilis.
  • 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

  • Next, add the minced chicken mix to the butter and start to stir.
  • Stir continuously until the water from the chicken dries a bit and then add the soy sauce.
  • Keep stirring for a minute. Then add salt to taste and the black pepper.
  • 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.
  • If possible, brush them with a bit of butter and garnish it with black pepper.
