Today we will learn the veg momos recipe. It is not a difficult recipe, but it takes little more time to prepare.
You know that veg momos are very much liked in India these days. Whether they are children or older, everyone likes momos.
Momos nowadays are found on every street corner shop. This recipe is from Tibet. But it is very famous all over the world.
Momos are of many ways such as fried momos, afghani momos, tandoori momos, cheese momos etc. But today we are going to make veg momos which we will steam.
Stuffing does not have any special spices and flavor in the momos sold in the market.
In addition to the cabbage. I have also added carrots, onions, green chillies, ginger into the stuffing of momos. If you want, you can add any other vegetables like peas etc. This will create a new flavour.
Apart from vegetables, some spices and soy sauce have also been used. All the spices will be generally available at your home. If you do not have soy sauce, you can make it without it.
How to make momos without steamer?
If you do not have a steamer too, there is nothing to worry about. You can still make momos without a steamer. For this, you will need a pot, steel sieve and a plate. All these utensils are available at home.
I do not even have a steamer. I made momos without a steamer. See the video of the recipe to know how to make momos without a steamer.
How much time does it take to steam momos?
Generally 12 to 15 minutes is sufficient time for cooking the momos.
How do you know when momos are cooked?
Remove the lid or plate and touch the momos with your finger. If it is sticky then they are not cooked. It needs to be steam for few more minutes. If they are not stickey, it means they are cooked.
