Momo's


The Tibetan restaurant in Kodai makes awesome momo's, which is a kind of dumpling that is extremely versatile and can be made to your taste. The other day we made potato cheese momo's in my cooking class.
So what you do is take some flour, water and a bit of salt and mix it all together and knead until it has a smooth consistency. The dough should be sticky but not to sticky that it sticks to your fingers.
For the filling you can really use anything you want; a mix of veggies and spices, or different meats. Whatever your in the mood for works great.
Take some dough and roll it flat into a circular shape a little bigger than you palm, scoop some filling (should be cooked, unless its just cheese) into the middle of the dough. Now bring all the edges of the dough to the top to close it up. The dough should surround the filling completely.
If you have a steamer put the momo's in for ten minutes or so. With some experimentation you will be able to judge what is best.
If you don't have a steamer you can fry them until they turn a golden colour.
Enjoy your momo's!
