I had this in my friend’s house.She prepared steamed & deep fried Momos.Both were tasting excellent.I prepared only the steamed ones . We liked it very much.There is a difference in the ingredients I've given here.Generally Momos are prepared only with Maida/All purpose flour.But I've used Wheat & Maida in 1:1 ratio. So the color of Momos are brownish & not white as we get in restaurants
.I prepared a dip /chutney as an accompaniment.It was a nice combination.Actually i prepared idly along with momos.So this chutney tasted great for both idly & momos.I’ve given the recipe for chutney below.U can call this chutney as momo sauce too
Please go through it..
Ingredients :
- Wheat flour – 1/2 cup
- Maida – 1/2 cup
- Salt & water – as required.
For stuffing :
- Carrot – 2 nos (Finely chopped )
- Cabbage – 1 cup ( finely shredded / chopped )
- Big onion – 2 nos (-d0-)
- Garlic – 5-8 flakes (-do-)
- Green chilly – 1-2 nos (slit cut ) (replace with chilly sauce if u r a spice lover)
- Soya sauce – 1 tsp
- Ajinomoto – 2 pinches (optional)
- Salt – As required
- Oil – 2 tbsp
Method :
- Mix Maida , wheat flour along with salt & water to make a soft pliable dough.Keep it aside.
- Take a wide mouthed kadai with 2tbsp of oil and add the onions & garlic pieces.Saute for sometime.Then add the green chilly , followed by vegetables.
- Saute well.Cover & cook for sometime.Add salt , soya sauce and Ajinomoto (optional ).Toss it well and switch off the flame.
- Now take the dough and make small balls of even size.
- Roll it to make a thin small poori of 4-5 inches. Remove the green chilly from the stuffing before u fill.
- Then take a tsp of stuffing and keep it in the center of the poori.
- Bring all the corners together and make a twist to get the shape of momos.I hope the picture gives u the clear idea.
- Steam it in a idly pot for 10-15 mins or deep fry it !!
Serve hot with tomato sauce or Garlic chutney ![]()

- Garlic flakes – 10 nos
- Red chilly – 4 nos ( i added only 2)
