Veg Momos recipe, easy to make and delicious vegan recipe! With a helping video for making the momos shape
This is the first time I am trying veg momos. Tasted for first time as well. I had a wish to try this ever since my SIL posted this. But have been postponing trying this due to various reasons. Now since a reader requested this recipe in my recipe request page, I thought of posting it. Since this is the first time, I took some time to make this. But its quite easy. For me making a post became a pressure today, otherwise its easy. Perfect for your kids and your family. Its really delicious and I bet you wont stop eating just one. I have tried this with maida, you can also try this with wheat flour. Check out my paneer momos with wheat flour.

The stuffing I made is as the same as my spring roll stuffing, except I added chopped garlic today. Otherwise the same. Excuse the shape and size of the momos 😉

  4. I rolled the dough into a big disc and used a big lid to cut into smaller discs. After that I again roll to make it more thin. Keep some stuffing we prepared in the middle.

  5. Fold it to make momo shapes. refer my video – click here. Though I have not made it perfect, it can help first timers like me 🙂

  6. Steam it in a steamer spaced properly, for 5 minutes.

Notes

  • Adding oil in the  dough gives softer outer layer.

Serve hot with hot chilli sauce or you can try this tomato garlic dip.

  26. Nups,

    Yes if you have a pressure cooker, fill it with 3/4 cup water, then place a broad bowl(height should be less)filled with water as well. Now place a greased plate over it and arrange the momos over it. If you have a perforated plate, then it would be more apt for it.No need to add the weight valve.Just steam for 10 minutes. Even you can follow the same inside an electric cooker or even in a big kadai. Electric cooker has one accessory now a days. You can try in that.

  54. neha,
    I too have a microwave steamer. I too have encountered the same problem … Try reducing the cooking time, in between change the position, it may help a bit. I assume u cook the momos covered.

  134. Hi raji,

    I plan to do this for my girls b day party, can I shape d momos n keep it covered for an hour or two before steaming? It's best served hot right? If it becomes cold, the outer cover becomes rubbery! Pls help me…

  176. If you have a pressure cooker, place the momos in a plate. Add some water in pressure cooker, place a vessel and the plate with momos over that. Cover with lid and steam for 15 mins. Do not use the pressure regulator.

  192. I hv visited ur blog for the first time. The only one reason I hold myself reading comments, scrolling down to write my own is your humbleness. The way you put forward your First Timer status is so human. I would love to read your language more, visit your blog and b a visitor on your site. Wanted an easy Momo recipe for my 5 yr old daughter. I think I got it. Thanks.

  232. You can even add boiled soya chunks and mashed paneer. .but do not cook paneer as it gets cooked when you steam it.. Try adding some ginger paste too..

I call u a teacher cos your recipes give the basic idea of the dish and enhance imagination to try variety with the same. Thank you so much 🙂 And please continue ur valuable contribution to beginners like us.

  260. For using rice flour, we wont be able to shape it unless we use hot water to make the dough and it will be the Indian steamed kozhukattai 🙂 You can choose wheat flour if you like
