Chicken Momos

Ingredients:

Chicken mince - 20 oz. (500 grams)
Onions - 3 (largely chopped)
Garlic pods - 8
Ginger - 1/2" piece (finely chopped)
Green chillies - 4 (finely chopped)
Coriander leaves - 1 small bunch ( freshly broken & finely chopped)
Coriander powder - 2 level tsps
Red chilli powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Ajinomoto - a pinch
Turmeric - 1 tsp
Maida (white flour) - 30 oz. (750 grams)
Salt - to taste
Water - as required
Oil - as required to oil the momo steamer

Preparation:

1. Mix the chicken mince with the chopped onions, garlic, green chillies and coriander leaves. Add the spices, mix well and keep aside.
2. Knead the maida with water for the outer momo covering, to a consistency thick enough to
hold the filling.
3. Now roll out small circles of the maida dough, taking care to sprinke a little dry maida powder to prevent the dough from sticking.
4. Take this momo wrapper, put some mince in the center and start pleating the outer edge of the wrapper from one side and give the top edge a little twist to close the momo.
5. Oil the steamer vessel to prevent the momos from sticking to the bottom of the vessel. Place the momos and steam them for 15-20 minutes or until the wrapper turns translucent.
6. Serve piping hot with momo chutney (sauce).
