Chicken Momos



Everybody has their comfort food, something that makes a dull day happy, a sad day vibrant. Being a foodie, I have too many of them. But, momos are on the top of the list. For long time now I have been planning to try my hand at it, but never dared till today. Here, goes momo my way.




Ingredients


White Flour - 75 gms
Oil
Salt 
Chicken (minced) - 250 gms
Green Chilli
Fresh Coriander
Vinegar
Garlic
Lemon Grass
American Sweet Corn


Method

The Dough

Put 1 tbsp of oil and a pinch of salt in the white flour and start mixing. Put water and mix further. Let the dough breath once done.

Stuffing


Marinade the minced chicken with chopped green chillies, chopped coriander and vinegar and keep it in the refrigerator for an hour or more. (preferably keep it overnight)

After marination, put 1 tsp of salt or as needed and mix well. 

Soup

Put leftover chicken bones in boiling water, season it with salt, pepper and lemon grass. Put fresh American sweet corn and let it simmer for 30 - 45 mins. 



Momos 




Roll out the dough and cut it out in small circles. Put the stuffing in each circle and shape them like a dumpling. (See picture)



Steam it over the hot soup. This adds extra flavour to the momos.

Serve with the hot soup. Feel comforted.
