Recipe- Street Style Vegetable Momos

Momos are a popular snack originally from Tibet & Nepal. This dumpling recipe is made with all-purpose flour and varieties of stuffing. The recipe shared here is a vegan recipe made using fresh vegetables. The recipe shared here is not a traditional momos recipe.

You will find many roadside food vendors that serve these juicy dumplings along with a spicy hot red chutney. Traditionally momos are steamed but in recent years you will see the recipe has evolved so much that, you will get deep-fried momos, tandoori momos, grilled momos or baked momos.

Ingredients

For Dough

1 cup all-purpose flour/maida
1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
water for kneading the dough
1 teaspoon oil

For Stuffing

1 tablespoon oil
4 garlic cloves finely chopped
2 green chillies finely chopped
2 small sprigs of spring onion finely chopped
2 cups cabbage finely chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper powder
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Method

- In a saucepan, heat a tablespoon of oil.

- Add finely chopped garlic cloves and saute for a minute till the raw smell of garlic fades away. Do not brown the garlic. Add finely chopped green chillies.

- Add the white part of the spring onion and saute on high flame for about 2 minutes.

- Add the chopped cabbage and mix well.

- Add salt and sugar as per taste. Sugar is optional here.Cook this cabbage mixture on medium to high flame.

- We do not want a completely cooked cabbage rather it should have a bite to it. (again it’s a personal choice here) so cook accordingly.

- When cabbage is cooked add crushed black pepper and the spring onion greens and mix
