Vegetarian Momo Recipe-Steamed Dumplings/A Street Food from the North East India

Steps

1. 1To begin making the Vegetarian Momo we will first knead the dough for the Vegetarian Momos cover.
2. 2Add the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add a little water at a time and knead to make a smooth dough.
3. 3Once the dough comes together, keep kneading for about 5 minutes to make it smooth and elastic. The dough should not be sticky.
4. 4Cover the dough and keep it aside for half an hour.
5. 5You can use a turbo chop to chop all your vegetables individually or you can even finely chop them up.
6. 6Once done combine all the chopped vegetables in a bowl. Check, the salt levels and add the oil to it as well. Mix well to combine.
7. 7Our next step is to fill and shape the momos
8. 8Divide the dough into small lemon size portions. Keep the dough covered with a muslin cloth.
9. 9Dust the dough in flour and roll out into a circle of 2 to 3 inch diameter. Do not roll too thick, as the filling will push itself out and tear when steamed.
10. 10Place a small spoon of filling in the center of the rolled circle. Wet the edges with little water to help seal the momos.
11. 11Bring together the edges of the dough with a pinching and folding motion on one side and bring the other side to hold to the pinched side. By doing this, the half moon shaped momos will have a frilled look. Proceed the similar way with the remaining dough.
12. 12You can experiment with different shapes and sizes that you like. All it takes is some time and practice.
13. 13As you keep shaping the momos, you need to keep them on a greased platter and cover with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
14. 14While you are shaping the momos, keep a steamer with water boiling. Grease the steamer pan with some oil to prevent the momos from sticking.
15. 15Place the shaped vegetarian momos on the greased steamer pan. So when you have one set of shaped momos, place them in the steamer and steam on high for 5 to 7 minutes until you see a glaze on the skin. The skin will begin to shine. As soon as you notice this, turn off the heat.
16. 16Transfer the Vegetarian Momos from the steamer into a serving platter and serve hot.
17. 17Serve the Vegetarian Momo Recipe along with Chilli Garlic Sauce as a Part Appetizer for any occasion with a party meal of Vegetarian Hakka Noodles, Soy Chunks Manchurian Recipe In Sweet & Spicy Chinese Sauce and Toffee Banana.
