Momos

Momos, a steamed dumpling with vegetable filling.. Its very rare that i find momos anywhere near my home.. So i generally end up making them at home.. These are healthy and light.. So these are apt for evenings when you feel like having something light as well as tasty....

Ingredients:

For the dough

1 cup maida

1tsp oil

1/2 tsp salt

For the stuffing

1 cup cabbage finely chopped

1 carrot finely chopped

2-3 green chillies chopped

3-4 garlic chopped

1tsp vinegar

1/2tsp soya sauce

Salt to taste
To serve with:
Schezwan Sauce

Method: Mix all ingredients of dough and make a smooth dough with water.. Rest it for half an hour.. Meanwhile make the stuffing.. Heat 1tsp oil in a pan and saute garlic.. Donot brown.. Add the chopped cabbage, carrot and green chillies.. Saute on high flame for 4-5mins till the water dries.. Add in salt, vinegar and soya sauce.. Mix well and off gas.. Keep aside to cool.. Now take the dough and divide it into lemon sized equal balls.. Roll it thin.. Put a tablespoon of filling in between and gather the edges to form a round shape.. twist in the centre to seal.. Make all momos in a similar way.. Now heat cooker with 2 inches water in it.. Put a ring in it.. take a colander which fits into your cooker and place cabbage leaves in it.. Oil the momos slightly and place it on the cabbage leaves leaving space between each momos as it tends to fluff up.. Now place the colander in the cooker and cover it with lid.. Remove the whistle.. Let it steam on medium heat for around 10mins till the covering of momos become transparent and its not sticky to touch.. Remove and serve hot with schezwan sauce..
