Step 1

To prepare this delicious chicken momos recipe, mix all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder in a dough kneading plate and knead to a stiff dough using a little water. Keep it aside to rest for at least 30 minutes before you make balls out of it.

Step 2

Put a saucepan over medium flame and heat 1 tbsp oil in it. When the oil is hot enough, add finely chopped onion and garlic to it. Once they are cooked until soft, add the chicken. Turn the heat high and take it off the heat until the chicken is almost cooked. Do not cook it completely. Mix in the soya sauce, salt, vinegar and black pepper.

Step 3

Roll the dough thin (translucent) and cut into 4-5 rounds. Take a wrapper, wet the edges and place some filling in the centre, bring edges together to cover the filling, twist to seal and fill the rest in the same way.

Step 4

Put a steamer over medium flame and steam these chicken momos for about 10 minutes, and leave them to cool. Meanwhile, heat some oil in a wok and once the oil is hot enough, carefully slip these steamed momos in it and deep-fry them. Remove on a kitchen napkin to soak the extra oil. Serve hot with spicy chutney!
