Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup water (or as needed)

For the Filling:

• 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
• 1 cup finely chopped carrots
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. Gradually add water and knead until the dough is soft and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

2. Make the Filling:

1. Heat the sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
2. Add the onions and cook until they turn translucent.
3. Stir in the chopped cabbage and carrots. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

3. Assemble the Momos:

1. Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, round disc.
3. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc.
4. Fold the disc in half and pinch the edges together to seal, forming a half-moon shape. You can also pleat the edges for a traditional look.

4. Pan-Fry the Momos:

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.
2. Place the momos in the skillet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
4. Add a small amount of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the momos steam for about 5 minutes.
5. Remove the lid and continue cooking until the water evaporates and the bottoms are crispy again.

Serving:

Serve the pan-fried momos hot with your favorite dipping sauce. For a spicy kick that will elevate your dish to a whole new level, drizzle NE CRAFTERS Bhut Jolokia Chilli Oil over the momos. This fiery chili oil adds a rich, smoky heat that perfectly complements the savory filling.

Final Note:

Feel free to experiment with the filling ingredients to suit your taste. You can also use NE CRAFTERS Bhut Jolokia Chilli Oil in your dipping sauce for an extra layer of heat and flavour. Enjoy your homemade momos with a side of vibrant veggies and a glass of cool lemonade, and you’ve got a meal that’s both satisfying and sensational!
