Last evening, we had chicken momos at home. Momos are a Tibetan dish and really simple to make. Before I tell you the recipe, let me first say that my husband, Gurdev, makes the yummiest momos. This is, essentially, his recipe. He makes it real well and always cribs that I don’t praise his cooking enough. So here is the kudos to him :).
Chicken Momos (Serves 4)
Ingredients
For the outer cover
250 gm. plain flour (maida)
a little vegetable oil
salt to taste
Water
Knead the above to a stiff dough and keep aside. Roll out into thin rounds like rotis. Cut each round into 4 parts.
For the filling
250 gms boiled and minced chicken
1 green bell pepper (capsicum)
1 large onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp. finely chopped ginger and garlic
1 green chilly finely chopped
1 tsp. soy sauce
salt to taste

@Bhupesh That’s really nice. I wouldn’t mind eating them regularly. Chocolate momos — I’m not sure; I’d rather have donuts dipped in chocolate sauce — yummy :).
@Bikramjit They are pretty commonly available in India. I’m not sure about the UK though.
it must be a delicious dishes..I am not lucky enuf to taste it till now..
Tasted veg momos in India when I had been on vacation this year, loved it. Thanks for sharing the recipe
I had veg momos when I went to Sikkim. I wasn’t an instant fan but it was not bad too..now this one, I must try..:)
Something similar to Samosas , but shaped different,isnt it?
@Tomz Well, you must try. You get them very commonly in Bangalore.
@bbsearchingself Yeah, the veggie version is good too, the filling tastes like the one they use in Chinese spring rolls, isn’t it?
@Destiny’s child Maybe, those were too authentic in taste. The ones we get here are quite spicy, just perfect for our taste :).
@Dr. Antony Conceptually, yes! But, these ones are not fried, which is a big plus in their favor.
I am going to try this out. Wonder if should deep fry to get them crispy.
hey rachna..here’s sending all the positive vibes of laughing buddha…wishing and hoping to hear some pleasant news fm u…keep the cheers:)
I am sure there’s a veg’ version, let me google it 🙂
@Shiju Thanks for visiting my blog. You must not fry them because they are good and healthy this way. If you fry them, they become something like spring rolls :).
@Ramesh Thank you! I will let you know in case I get some good news :).
@Agnes Yes, I am sure there is one if you look for it.
looks Delicious!!!
Thank you very much for you visiting my blog and comment!
Best Regards!

Thanks Rachna.
Joy always,

Hope you enjoy this recipe.
momos always bring back memories of times as a student in Pune.. after a grueling days work, would rush to the market behind the hospital for a plate of momos 🙂
And u definitely need chilly tomato sauce for the ultimate finger-licking taste 😀
absolutely — you need that chilly sauce. We make it at home now. Hubby does a great job of making these :). I’ve lived in Pune too for some time. Which area had these momo stalls that you are talking of?
I used to study in Bharati Vidyapeeth, Dhankawadi… behind the college campus is this sprawling ‘back market’ filled with buildings with all forms of tasty food options from vada pavs,cad-b, momos, pani puris 🙂
Used to be filled with all the students of various college sections till late at night !!
Bharati Vidyapeeth is it? Pune is filled with colleges. I haven’t studied there. I did most of my studies in Mumbai. And the areas around all colleges are the same with the same delectable stuff that all lukkha college students on shoe-string budgets thrive on :).
