Method
preparing the outer cover of momos:

- Add garlic & onion, saute for few seconds & then add all the finely chopped vegetables.
- Add all spices and stir fry the vegetables on high heat till become dry & cooked.
- Later add 1 to 2 tbsp of the spring onions greens and stir fry for a minute.
Shaping the Veg Momos:
- Roll each dough ball into a thin circle of about 2-3 inch diameter.
- Place 1 or 2 tsp of vegetable stuffing in the center.
- Then make ball like kachori. Prepare all momos this way and keep them covered under a moist napkin.
- In a greased steamer pan or in idli moulds, place the momos keeping space between them so that they don’t touch each other.
- Steam momos for 5-6 minutes.
- When you touch the momo then dough should not feel sticky to you.
- This means they are done and the momos will have a transparent look.
- Serve vegetable momos with a spicy sauce like schezwan sauce or tomato-chili sauce or chili sauce.
