veg momos recipe | Indian vegetable momos | Chinese style veg momos | restaurant style momos is a steamed snack often served with momos chutney. Learn how to make Indian vegetable momos.

To make veg momos, first make the dough. Combine the plain flour, oil and salt in a deep bowl and knead into a semi-soft dough using enough water. Cover the dough with a damp muslin cloth or lid and keep aside for 10 minutes. For the stuffing, heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the garlic, ginger and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds. Add the onions, carrot, capsicum and cabbage, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper, mix well and cook on a medium flame for a few seconds. Add the spring onion greens. Keep aside.

Then to make Indian vegetable momos, divide the dough into 22 equal portions. Roll a portion of the dough into a 75 mm. (3”) diameter thin circle using a little plain flour for rolling and place 1 tbsp of the prepared filling in the centre of the circle. Hold it on your palms, fold the two sides and pinch them. Fold the other open side and pinch it again so as to form a crescent shape. Steam 6 momos in a greased steamer for 10 to 12 or till they are cooked. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to steam the remaining momos. Serve immediately with momos chutney and mayonnaise.

A snack that has become almost synonymous with Chinese cuisine, restaurant style momos are made of a plain flour cover filled with sautéed veggies. An apt combination of garlic, ginger, green chillies, vinegar and soy sauce flavours the vegetable mixture, and the outcome is simply tongue-tickling!

Traditionally, Chinese style veg momos are steamed in bamboo baskets, but you can also cook them in a regular steamer or cooker, the way you make dhoklas or idlis. They are a popular street food in China and in north east India.

You can innovate on this Indian vegetable momos by adding other veggies or bean sprouts to the filling, but make sure you choose colourful, juicy and crisp veggies to achieve the right appearance and to get the mild crunch that makes momos so enjoyable! Serve along with Vegetable Chow Mein and Chinese Fried Rice.

Tips to make veg momos recipe. 1. You can use veggies of your choice such as grated paneer or finely chopped French beans. 2. Grease the steamer before steaming momos or else it will stick and tear. 3. Do not over steam momos otherwise the covering will become chewy. 4. Cover the momos with a damp muslin cloth after shaping them to avoid drying. 5. Make sure you remove the momos after cooked from the steamer using tongs to avoid them from breaking. 6. Do not use too much flour while rolling to avoid dry and hard momos. 7. Make sure the dough is semi soft as mentioned in the recipe or else the momos will break while shaping them. 8. The stuffing should be semi dry or dry to avoid them from turning soggy while shaping the momos. 9. Serve immediately or else it will turn chewy.

You can place them on a cornflour tray or plate and do not over lap them and then place the momos on it and put in fridge and then before steaming cook in a grease plate.
