Momos is one of the popular Tibetan recipe and preparing Momos takes a good amount of time. But momos is also a popular street food in north India and it is also served as one of the usual dish in all Chinese restaurants of India. Momos can be made with various stuffings and the sauce served with the momos will usually be hot and spicy. When I made these momos, I had to serve them with a spicy sauce. So I prepared a spicy Momos Chutney. Here is the link for Momos Chutney. For the momos filling, we are going to do vegetable and paneer filing balanced in taste and lightly spiced, so that it accompanies the spicy & hot sauce very well. So in this article, we are going to prepare a steamed momos instead of fried ones.
I hope you’ll like this recipe and do try this recipe.

Method / Direction
- Prepare the dough first, for our momos.
- Add all purpose flour and salt as per taste into a mixing bowl.
- Mix them well together.
- Add little water at a time and mix it to prepare a medium dough.
- If the dough is little soft, add some more of all-purpose flour to make it a medium dough.
- Apply oil all over the dough and give it a light beat.
- Cover the dough with a paper towel and leave it for 15 to 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the stuffing for our momos.
- On a hot pan on a medium flame, add a small cube of butter.
- When the butter is melted, add paneer cubes. Adding paneer cubes is totally optional. But you can substitute paneer with something else as well.
- Shallow fry the paneer cubes for two minutes.
- Whey they turn golden brown in colour, we will take them out and keep them aside.
- On the same pan, add another small cube of butter.
- When the butter is melted, add finely chopped onions and sauté it for a minute.
- Add chopped green beans and grated carrots
- Give them a good stir and cook them for two minutes on a medium flame.
- Now add ginger garlic paste and mix it well.
- Again sauté them for a minute or two.
- We will now add black pepper powder, red chili powder and salt as per taste.
- Mix everything well.
- Now we will add our fried paneer cubes and finely chopped coriander leaves.
- Mix all the ingredients.
- Ok. Our momos stuffing is ready.
- After 20 minutes, remove the paper towel from dough, and give one last beat.
- Divide the dough into smaller balls.
- Take a small dough ball and roll it until it becomes flattened and thinner.
- Add the stuffing in the centre of the dough
- Start folding the dough from the edges to make it look like momos.
- When the momos are ready and the next step is to steam them in a pressure cooker.
- But first, grease the steamer base. The steamer that I’m using is used to prepare idlis. But you can use steamer of your choice.
- Place the momos on the steamer and place the steamer in the pressure cooker.
- I’ve already have boiled water on medium high heat in the pressure cooker.
- Cover the pressure cooker with lid and cook it for 15 minutes.
- It is important that you should not use whistle of the pressure cooker.
- After 15 minutes, let’s check the momos. Ok our momos are ready.
- Carefully remove the steamer from the pressure cooker.
- Place the momos on a serving plate.
Alright, so you can serve your momos with the hot spicy sauce you have.
