Veg Momos are authentic starters of tibet and nepal .There are many variations to shape and fillings of momos from mushrooms,veggies,meat .Because i am a vegeterian i tried a veg version of momos .Making of shape is little bit tough for first few momos ,after that you get used to it.Its like saree folding .
I googled and mixed many versions and here is the final version of mine .I loved a very detailed recipe of how to make the dough and shapes present here.Knead the dough well and put enough oil while streaming,roll them thin (between transparent and thick ) and serve them hot ,that way you can enjoy the streamed momos .You can Deep fry them or shallow fry them if you like to eat a fried version of it (i haven't tried them yet).
We ate it after clicking the pic so it was little hard .so enjoy them hot hot ...

- Knead it well for almost 5 min (or until they are stretchy)
- Cover it for 15 min .
Filling preparation:
- Wash and cut the mushrooms,carrot very thin.
- Chop the garlic also very thin.
- Separate the white and green part of spring onions and cut them very thin.
- In a pan add oil, add garlic and saute for sometime
- Add white part of spring onions and saute for a minute.
- Add carrot and beans and saute it for 2 minutes or until they are cooked)
- Finally add the chopped mushrooms and add required salt as well.
- Now veggies will release water , cook it until water gets evaporated.
- Add soy sauce,sugar as well and keep stirring for a minute or two until the water evaporates.
- Finally add the crushed black pepper and switch off the flame.
Assembling:
- Separate the dough in to 12-13 balls.
- Roll them thin and put the filling inside.
- Fold it like Saree folding and press them together to form a sharp edge .
- You feel like modhak after finishing.
Streaming:
- Keep this in greased holed streaming pot with boiling water for 7-8 minutes or until the momos are transparent(don't cook them for too long ,momos will be hard)
- Serve it with soy sauce or sweet sour chutney like bell pepper chutney
Note:
- Knead them well ,then your momos will be good .
- Roll them thin to get a proper texture .
- Eat them hot with tangy sauce like soy sauce .
- Stream the momos in a pot with boiling water like you do for idli steaming.
- You can stream them in microwave if the dough is not too thin and very soft (if the dough is thin and dry then you get a hard momos)
- I did one batch in idli pot and one in microwave (i liked the momos from steamed pot ).
