How to make Protein Rich Wheat Momos (Atta Momos)
Prepare the Dough
- Step 1
In a mixing bowl, add atta and water in parts as needed to make a smooth and soft dough.
- Step 2
Cover the bowl with a lid and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
- Step 1
Heat oil in a pan and add garlic. Add all the veggies and cook for a few minutes until they become slightly soft.
- Step 2
Add paneer and cook well. Season with salt and a pinch of black pepper powder. Keep it aside and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
Shape the Momos
- Step 1
Divide the dough into small or medium-sized balls.
- Step 2
Sprinkle some flour on a dough ball and roll it into a thin circle, ensuring the edges are thin and the center is thick.
- Step 3
Apply water on the edges of the circle using your fingertip or a small pastry brush.
- Step 4
Place 2 tablespoons of paneer stuffing in the center. Lift one side of the edge and start pleating, forming pleats one by one. Join the pleats in the center.
- Step 5
Prepare all the momos this way and keep them covered under a moist napkin until ready to steam.
Steam the Momos
- Step 1
Grease the steamer pan well with oil and place all the prepared momos in the pan.
- Step 2
Steam the momos for 10 to 12 minutes, ensuring not to overdo the steaming to avoid dense and dry dough.
