Maida – 200 gm (2 small bowls)
oil – 1 tablespoon
Baking powder – 1/5 small spoon
Salt – as per taste
Method
Take out the flour in a bowl. Mix salt and oil and knead soft dough with water. Leave the dough covered for half an hour.
Till then let's make the filling.
Ingredients for filling
Capsicum – 2
Cabbage – 1 small bowl (finely cut)
Cauliflower – 1 small bowl (finely cut)
Carrots – 2 (grated)
Green peas – half small bowl (optional)
Cottage Cheese – 100 gm
Oil – 1 tablespoon
Black pepper - ¼ spoon
Red pepper – 1 pinch
Coriander – half small bowl (finely cut)
Salt – as per taste
(as per taste you can also use onion or garlic)
Method:
Put the oil in a frying pan and heat it. Add the cut vegetables to the hot oil.
Mix black pepper, red chili, salt and coriander and fry for 2 minutes while stirring.
Now crush the paneer into coarse powder and mix in the frying pan. Fry for another 1 to 2 minutes.
The filling for the momos is ready (If you also want onion or garlic then fry them before adding the vegetables).
Take out a small lump from the dough, shape it like a ball and flatten it with roller into a disk like shape with 3 inches diameter.
Put filling in the center of the flattened dough and by folding from all the corners or half moon shape. ( On corners just put drops of water with help of your finger so that you can seal the corners.)
Like this prepare the entire dough into filled pieces.
Now we have to cook the momos in steam.
To do this you can use the special utensil for steaming the momos or you can use vegetable steamer.
In this special utensil, four to five utensils are piled on top of each other and the bottom section is a little bigger to fill the water.
The above three or four utensils have a net like bottom.
Fill 1/3 of the bottom most utensil with water and heat it.
Put the momos in the steamer. About 12 to 14 momos will fit in one utensil. Cook in the steam for 10 minutes. When momos become translucent they are cooked.
The momos are ready.
If you don't have the special utensil to make the momos then put a filter stand in a big bottomed utensil and keep the momos on top of the filter. Fill water, at the bottom of the filter stand, in the utensil and heat it for 10 minutes. The momos are ready, take them out in a plate. If you have more momos then repeat the above step.
The delicious Vegetable Momos are now ready to serve and eat along with red chili sauce or onion soup.
If you want you can marinate the cooked momos in tandoori masala and grill them...tandoori momos are ready serve with green chutney.
