Method:
1. Making dough:
Put flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Knead the flour thoroughly, adding lukewarm water little by little. The dough should be neither too hard nor too soft, of medium consistency.
Add 1 teaspoon oil and knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, until it becomes soft and smooth.
Place the dough in a bowl, cover, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Preparing chicken stuffing:
Put chicken mince in a bowl.
Add finely chopped onion, garlic, grated ginger and coriander leaves.
Add soy sauce, salt, black pepper and chili flakes.
Mix all ingredients well so the flavors infuse the chicken.
If desired, add a little cooking oil to keep the lentil stuffing moist and juicy.
3. Making momos:
Take the rested dough and divide it into small portions, approximately 20 to 25 equal balls.
Take one boll and roll it out with a rolling pin into a circular disc, approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Place 1 teaspoon of chicken stuffing in the center.
Fold the dough carefully you can fold it into a simple half moon shape or the traditional pleats style. Pleats take some practice, but once mastered, they look perfect.
Prepare all the momos this way.
4. Steaming momos:
Pour some water into the steamer and bring it to a boil.
Place the momos in the steamer basket on top of the lining paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
Cover the steamer and steam the momos for 10 to 12 minutes over medium heat.
Be careful not to over steam or the momos may become soggy.
After steaming, transfer the momos to plate.
Serve steamed momos hot.
Serve tomato sauce, schezwam sauce, or soya sauce with them.
Tips:
1. Don't make the dough too tight or the momos will turn out hard. Soft dough gives momos a crispy outside and juicy inside.
2. Keep the oil at medium heat while frying. Too hot oil will burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked.
3. Add a little cornflour to the filling it helps keep the stuffing bound and juicy.
4. If you like a cheesy flavor, mix some grated cheese into the fillings before frying for the creamy rich taste.
