- For the stuffing(Non-Veg):
- Wash the minced chicken properly and marinate it in 1 tbsp soy sauce,1 tbsp vinegar, fish sauce(optional) and salt for minimum 1 hr.
- Heat a wok and add oil to it.
- Add chopped garlic, ginger and green chili paste. Do not let the garlic turn brown.
- Add black and white pepper powder.
- Add minced chicken to it and saute for 5 min. Since the chicken is minced, it will hardly take few minutes to cook. You may add sprouts to this.
- Add soy sauce and vinegar and saute.
- Garnish with fresh chopped green onion.
- Take all purpose flour, add little water, salt and oil to it and knead a tight dough.
- Make 1 inch small balls from the dough and roll them into puri size rotis.
- Now place the puri/roti on a flat surface, place 1 or 2 tsp of the stuffing at the centre and fold so that the final product looks similar to a modak. There are many other ways of folding a momo. You may just google it and try different shapes! Here are a few pictures of how I folded them:
- Once it is ready, heat a double boiler and place the momos in it for 10-12 min.
- Serve hot with red garlic chutney or Schezwan sauce.
P.S: If minced chicken is not available, marinate the chicken pieces in salt and half tbsp ginger-garlic paste. Then boil, shred and mince the chicken pieces.
