How to make Chicken Steamed Momos

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour (maida) and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, soft dough.
Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

In another bowl, mix minced chicken, finely chopped onion, coriander leaves, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, black pepper powder, and salt to taste.
Mix well to form the momo filling.

Shape the Momos

Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each portion into a thin, round disc of about 3 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each disc.
Fold and pleat the edges to seal the momos, ensuring there are no gaps for the filling to escape.

Steam the Momos

Grease a steamer basket with oil and arrange the momos, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Steam the momos for 20-25 minutes or until the dough becomes translucent and the chicken is cooked through.
