Veg momos

Friends
Here is a famous Tibetan recipe that I specially like as it is oil-free and light. Veg momos steamed and stuffed with onions,  cabbage,  carrots,  bell pepper,  garlic, paneer,  ginger and green chillies.
The best part is you can vary stuffing contents and their proportion as per your choice!

1. Make dove of maida and let it rest for 1 hour.
2. Prepare stuffing with ingredients shown in picture above.
3. With the given sized dove you can make around 25 momos.
4. Steam the stuffed momos in idli cooker or modak pan.
5. Serve with shejvan chutney or sauce as you prefer!
