How to make Fried Momos

Prepare the Dough

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Stuffing

  1. In a bowl, mix the finely chopped vegetables, ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Ensure the mixture is well combined.

Assemble the Momos

  1. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of stuffing in the center of each circle. Fold the edges to seal the momo, ensuring no stuffing is exposed.

Fry the Momos

  1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the momos in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
