Instructions
Dough
- Mix the flour and salt well.
- Add butter and knead into a soft dough using just enough water.
- Cover with a wet cloth and keep aside.
Sauce
- Heat the peanuts on a dry pan, and then peel them.
- Heat butter on a wok and roughly cook the chopped tomatoes, spring onion, green chillies, garlic, and ginger for 2 minutes on a high heat.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the peanuts, salt, szechuan pepper and red chilli powder and grind mixture into a semi-smooth paste in your food processor / mixer.
- Add finely-chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice, and mix together well.
Filling
- Finely chop the spring onion, coriander leaves, green chillies and french beans.
- Grate the cabbage, carrot and cheese.
- Boil the soya nuggets, squeeze to drain water and cut into small pieces.
- Put all of these ingredients into a big bowl.
- Add the ginger, onion and garlic paste.
- Add garam masala, red chilli powder and salt to taste.
- Heat the butter on a wok and fry the garlic and red chilli pieces until brown, then add them to the filling mixture above and mix thoroughly.
Dumplings
- First divide the dough into 4 equal parts and use a rolling pin to roll out each part into a thin layer of dough that is 5 – 6 inches in diameter.
- Then using the rim of a glass, cut out circular wrappers.
- Take a wrapper and depending on the size of the wrapper, put 1 tsp or ½ tsp of filling into the centre of the wrapper.
- Now carefully create folds and seal the wrapper. You can shape the dumplings any way you like.
- Apply oil or butter to the surface and sides of the steamer, so that the dumplings don't stick due to heat.
- Arrange the dumplings side by side, such that one doesn't touch another.
- Set the steamer above a vessel of boiling water, and cook covered for 15 minutes.
- Serve Momos hot with the sauce!
