heat. Add the

chopped cabbage
and cook for at least
8-10 mins.
4. Add soy sauce, black
pepper powder and
sugar and mix well.
Turn off the heat and
allow to come to
room temperature.

the filling on the
rolled out circle, add
salt and mix.

knead the dough

lemon sized balls of
the dough and dust

each ball into a 3" or

be difficult to form a
neat pouch shape.
7. Beginning at one end
of the flat circle,
gather the edge to
form pleats working
your way around the
circle. Bring the
pleats together to
form a pouch-like
dumpling and seal
the top.
8. Fill and shape all the
rolled out circles into
pouch-like
dumplings. Cover
them with a damp
cloth to avoid drying
out. Grease an
aluminum or
stainless steel
steamer and place
the shaped
dumplings leaving a
little space between
each of them. Fill a
vessel or pot that is
large enough to place
the steamer with 3"
to 4" of water and
bring water to a boil.
Ensure that the

bottom of the
steamer does not
touch the water.
9. Once the water
coming to a rolling
boil, place the
steamer in the vessel
and cover with lid.
Steam on high heat
for 10 mins. The
momos are done
when a shiny sheen
appears over them.
10. These minimally
flavored veg momos
with red chutney
make for a light yet
satisfying dinner.

 Tips
You can use a pressure
cooker to steam the
momos. Do not use the
weight while steaming
momos.
You can use a bamboo
steamer too.
You can line the steamer
with cabbage leaves or
husk of corn and place
