Vegetable Momos \ Steamed Dumplings



Today’s recipe is vegetable momos. This is nepali cosine recipe basically known as steamed dumplings. We can use dipping sauce of our choice. For soft dough we can use oil and cover it with plastic rap. Rest it for 20 to 25 minutes. Stuffing is to be your favorite like vegetable or anything. I use carrot, cabbage and onion. Assorted vegetables such as potato, mushrooms, cauliflower and green peas can be used. The trick is that u wanna roll edge thinner and keep the center thicker.
