EGG CHICKEN MOMOS

Momos are a tibetan dish.I used to have it in my college days.I liked them a lot.Everyone at home liked it as there was no oil in it.A filling snack for all and a guilt free one.I usually prepare this with the non veg filling mostly but the veg part is also very tasty.



Ingredients
 for the batter
maida 1cup
milk 1/2cup
salt

for the filling
chicken 1 cup( cooked and minced )
eggs 2 or 3
onion 1 chopped
ginger-garlic paste 1 tsp
green chilli 4-5(optional)/chilly sauce 1 tsp
pepper powder 1tsp
soy sauce 1 tsp
salt
oil 3tsp

for the chutney/dip
red chilli dried one 6-7
onion 2 chopped
tomato 4 chopped
brown sugar 2 tsp
vinegar 2tbsp
salt

In the mean time ,place a pan on medium heat.
Pour oil and add onion,saute for 2mts.Add in the ginger-garlic paste ,saute till raw smell disappears.Add the minced meat and stir.
Break two eggs into it and scramble them.

Repeat the same with other balls of dough.
Place the sealed momos into a plate and put it in the pressure cooker or idli cooker.
Steam for about 10-15mts.
Momos are ready.
FOR DIP
Heat oil in a pan & saute onions & garlic cloves till translucent.Add in the red dry chillies & tomatoes.Put off flame.
Grind the ingredients of chutney with brown sugar,salt,vinegar in a mixer until smooth.
Serve the chutney with momos.

  • servings 12-15momos

TIPS
* Usually the filling is just made by pulsing all the ingredients(esp vegetables ),mixed with sauces and is not cooked.Its directly added in the pouch and is steamed.But somehow am not comfortable that way so saute the other ingredients too.
*Line the plate in the pressure cooker also with some amount of oil.
*You can also prepare veg momos by using cabbage as filling.That also tastes very good.
*You can even combine the cabbage,carrots and egg as filling too.
