Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 milliliters Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 250 grams Paneer (cottage cheese)
- 1 piece Green chili
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt (for filling)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 small Onion
- 50 grams Cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
Finely chop the paneer, green chili, ginger, onion, and cabbage. Add them into a bowl.
To the paneer mixture, add salt, black pepper powder, soy sauce, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Using a rolling pin, roll each piece into a thin circle approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
Place about a tablespoon of the paneer filling in the center of each rolled-out circle.
Gently bring the edges together, folds them over one another, and pinch to seal into a pleated shape.
Heat a steamer and arrange the momos on the tray. Ensure they do not touch and have space in between.
Steam the momos for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is no longer sticky and appears translucent.
Serve the paneer momos hot with your choice of spicy chutney.
