Ingredients :
  • For the dough 
    • 1.5 cup all purpose flour ( I used type 405 weizenmehl ) 
    • 1/2 tsp of salt
    • 2 tsp of oil
    • around 3/4 cup of water
  • For the filling 
    • cabbage - 1.5 cup
    • carrot - 1 cup
    • garlic - 2 cloves
    • salt - 1-2 tsp
    • pepper - 1-2 tsp
    • Sieve and cheesecloth
  • Oil for greasing
  • To serve
    • Mayonnaise
    • Schezwan dip

Method : 
  1. In a bowl take flour, add salt and mix. 
  2. Next add oil and mix well. Knead the dough using water to get a smooth dough. 
  3. Keep it aside to rest for 20-30 minutes.
  4. Grate or finely chop carrot, cabbage and garlic. 
  5. Sprinkle salt on it and rest for 10 minutes. 
  6. Using sieve and cheesecloth, squeeze / drain out the water from veggies mixture. 
  7. Add pepper to it and mix well. 
  8. Knead the dough again for few seconds. Make tiny balls out of dough and roll into thin rounds. 
  9. Make sure the edges are much thinner, cause we pinch and fold it. 
  10. Place 1 heaping tbsp of stuffing in the center, apply little water to the edges and shape the momos/dumplings as per your desired shape. 
  11. Grease the steaming tray with oil. 
  12. Place the dumplings and steam for about 15-20 minutes.
  13. Take it out and enjoy warm with schezwan dip and mayonnaise. 

Notes : 
  • Do not over-knead the dough. We do not want bread like texture.
  • It is very important to rest the dough.
  • Be experimental with choice of fillings, add beans, mushrooms or broccoli, or any type of meat that you like. 
  • If you are using meat for filling cook it a little before using it for stuffing.  
  • Also do not overcook the dumplings else it will become chewy and bad texture. 
  • Make the edges much thinner because when you fold and shape it, the edges will overlap and come together.
