Learn the ‘Leaf/Sea Shell’ folding technique, prepare the secret Schezwan (Timur) Chutney, and discover a pro-tip for flash freezing to ensure your meal prep never sticks or tears. There’s a quiet satisfaction in making momos from scratch, from preparing the dough to perfecting each pleat, creating delicious steamed momos with a flavorful filling.
Instructions
- Knead the dough for 7–8 minutes until smooth. Let it rest, which is crucial for rolling.
- While the dough rests, chop the vegetables. Mix the filling ingredients and 'bloom' the spices with hot olive oil.
- For the chutney, sauté cherry tomatoes and Schezwan peppers (Timur). Let them cool while you wrap the momos, then blend with roasted peanuts and sesame seeds.
- Roll wrappers to 3–3.5 inches in diameter and 1mm thickness, ensuring edges are thin and centers are thick.
- Use the 'Leaf Fold' technique: pinch one corner, fold inward, and repeat to create an elegant sea shell look.
- Steam momos for approximately 8–10 minutes, or until steam releases heavily from the sides and the momos appear shiny.
- For freezing, place the remaining uncooked momos on a tray and flash freeze for 1 hour before transferring them to a bag to prevent sticking and tearing.
