Momos

Every time I stumble upon this picture in my saved albums, I remember my friend Anusha. Why? She loves momos! I would love to make these for her next time when we meet and maybe if she reads this, we could meet up soon. :) So, dedicating my recipe to Anusha, these steamed dumplings are delicious, healthy and will melt in your mouth.

I used store bought wrappers, but you can easily make them at home. Check out these recipe of wrappers.
Hand rolled wrappers
Whole wheat wrappers

You could use as many veggies as you like and also add mushrooms or meat of your choice.

Saute 1 large chopped onion in 2 tbsp. of oil. Add spring onions, chopped bell pepper, minced ginger and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes.

Mince carrots: I like to use my little chopper to finely chop veggies and drop them in the pan.

Finely chopped cabbage.

Add salt and pepper to your taste. Add 1/2 tsp. vinegar. mix well and let the moisture evaporate.

I use round pot-sticker wrappers to make momos.

Here is the momo or potsticker maker/press.

This was quick: Made quite some in very little time.

Or, you could hand roll them too. Fill and tsp. of mixture in the center of the wrapper. Apply water on all sides and pleat the edges together.

I love how they stand firmly and maintain their shape.

Steam in a bamboo steamer for 8-10 minutes till they turn translucent. Serve hot.

Here is a simple round fold.

Just bring the sides together.

Spicy delicious schezwan dip (chilli, garlic sauce).
