Instructions
- To make the dough, take 2 cup refined wheat flour (maida), 1 tbsp cooking oil, and ½ tsp salt in a bowl. Mix all of them nicely.
- Add water gradually as required and knead it to make a hard dough. Rub a bit of refined oil and cover it with a cellophane paper. Let it set for 20 to 30 mins.
- By this time, make the stuffing for chicken momo. In a bowl take 300 gram boneless chicken (minced) and add ½ cup onion (finely chopped), ½ tsp salt, ½ cup spring onion, 1 tsp black soy sauce, ½ tsp black pepper powder, 1 tsp vinegar, 2 tbsp white refined oil.

- Wrap the edges together.
- Give it a shape of a momo.
- Now take a plate with holes in it, as shown in the image. Grease it with a little bit of refined oil.
- Place the momos, each at a distance.
- Take a saucepan with water. Place the tray on top of the saucepan with boiling water.
- Cover it and let it steam for 15 minutes on medium heat.
- Take them out very carefully when done because the momos will be very soft and tender.

Notes
I have added cheese in the recipe for additional taste and flavor. It is however optional and its amount can also be adjusted.
I have shown the most common and easiest shape to my momos. There are several other shapes you can give to the chicken momo. Use your imagination. Watch my full video for giving other shapes.
You can use traditional momo steamer to make this recipe. However, my aim is to make momos at home using everyday kitchen utensils.
Do not overcrowd the tray with too many momos. This will ensure even cooking and easy removal.
Make sure the tray you are using for steaming the momos sets properly on the saucepan leaving no gaps. If the cover has a hole, close it with a piece of paper as I have done.
