Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Paneer
- 12 pieces Cabbage leaves
- 1 small Onion
- 1 small Carrot
- 1 piece Green chili
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Grate the paneer and finely chop the onion, carrot, green chili, ginger, and garlic.
In a bowl, combine the grated paneer, chopped vegetables, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil. Mix well to prepare the filling.
Carefully remove thick stalks from the cabbage leaves to make them pliable.
Boil water in a large pot. Once boiling, add cabbage leaves and blanch for about 2 minutes until soft but not soggy. Remove and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Place a tablespoon of the paneer filling in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the edges over the filling to form a momo shape.
Set up a steamer and bring water to a boil. Arrange the cabbage momos in the steamer basket without overlapping.
Steam the momos for about 8-10 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is hot.
Serve warm with a side of spicy dipping sauce or chutney.
