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.
