A street food of North East India has become a craze throughout India. Just a decade back no one knew about momos and now you can see momos stall in most fast food centre.
It's a healthy option then the fried snack we get roadside. But if you want to up the health quotient then try experimenting with ragi flour or whole wheat flour.
I have used the original recipe where white flour is used.
Ingredients
For filling:
1/2 cup boiled and shredded chicken
1 cup finely chopped cabbage
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup finely chopped spring onions
2 tsp chopped garlic and ginger
2 tsp chopped green chilli
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ajinomoto
Pinch of salt
2 tsp oil
For dough
1/2 cup plain flour
Water to knead soft dough
Method:
In a pan heat up the oil. Add ginger garlic and green chillies. Add the veggies. Add chicken and fry it well on high heat. Add the spices and salts.
The whole process of frying should not take more than five minutes as we want the veggies to be crunchy.
Knead the dough and make berry size roundels. Put the filling mixture and close properly with or without flour and water mix. Steam it in a hot steamer for 10-15 min.
Serve hot with chilli and garlic chutney.
