This homemade Chicken Momo is one of our favorite chicken dinner recipes and we enjoy it in several ways. While steamed chicken dumplings are our first love, we thoroughly enjoy them as pan-fried momo in a spicy sauce.
Let's begin with the chicken momo wrappers. Knead a tight dough of all-purpose flour with a touch of salt and normal water. Once it comes together, cover the mixing bowl with a lid and keep it aside.
1 cup All-purpose Flour, Salt to Taste
Take another large mixing bowl and mix all the ingredients, like minced chicken, seasonings, finely chopped coriander leaves, and grated ginger & garlic. Add a touch of vinegar and give everything a good mix.
500 gms Minced Chicken, 1 Onion, 1 tbsp Grated Ginger, 6 Cloves of Garlic, 2 tbsp Coriander Leaves, Salt & Pepper, ½ tsp Vinegar
Divide the dough into smaller portions, each of the size of a ping-pong ball. Flour the rolling surface and roll each of the dough balls into thin momo wrappers.
Take a tablespoon of the prepared momo filling place it at the center of the momo wrapper and gather the edges together into a tightly packed dumpling.
Repeat this with the rest of the momo dough and the momo filling till you have a tray full of ready-to-cook momos.
For steamed momos, cook these momos for 10-12 minutes in a steamer
For pan-fried momos, shallow fry them in a frying pan till they are crispy and cooked
