Mix Veg Momos

Well here is another yummy momo.
Momos are something i can have any time of the day. They are filling and nutritious. As there is no frying involved you can have it without any guilt. Those counting the calories in the white flour can substitute it with whole wheat flour. Since the preparation involves very less use of oil you can have as many as you want and not feel overstuffed.


Ingredients

For the dough
2 cups flour
Salt to taste
Water to knead

Mix the flour and salt. Use the water to knead a firm dough. Cover and keep aside for some time.


For the filling
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped French beans
6 garlic pods, chopped fine
1 cup chopped cabbage
Salt to taste
1 tsp ajinomoto (optional)
½ cup paneer, crumbled

Heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add all the chopped vegetables. Add the salt and sauté for some time. Cover and cook for 4 minutes. The vegetables must not become soft because they are yet to be steamed. Add the crumbled paneer and cook for a minute or two. Keep aside for the filling to cool down.

Now make small balls of the dough and start rolling them out. The trick with rolling out the momo wrappers is to make the outer circumference thinner that the middle portion. This is because you will be gathering up the outer rim and folding it into different shapes. The middle portion has to be thicker so that the momo does not break after being steamed.
Place a tablespoon of filing in the middle and fold the momo into desired shapes.
Steam them for 20-25 minutes. Have the hot, steaming momos with the red chutney.
