In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour mix and salt. Gradually add water to form a soft, pliable dough. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, ginger, garlic, green chili, carrot, and cabbage. Grate the paneer.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent. Add ginger, garlic, and green chili; continue to sauté for another minute.
Stir in carrots and cabbage. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add grated paneer, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down. Stir in chopped coriander leaves.
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin disc using a rolling pin.
Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the center of the disc. Fold and pleat the edges to seal the momos.
Prepare a steamer by adding water and bringing it to a boil.
Place the momos in the steamer basket and steam for about 10-12 minutes until the outer cover becomes glossy and slightly translucent.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
