Momo has always been our special food and used to be cooked on special occasions and celebration and especially on the Tibetan New Year called "Losar".
Steaming time of momos is 30 minutes ,some prefer to steam for 20 minutes but I find it undercooked in 20 minutes and the maida wrap is quite chewy.
So apart from steaming time it requires preparation time of about an hour or so and time for stuffing and making of momos.
In Tibetan style Momo the stuffing is generally not precooked be it veg or non veg, in Nepali style Momo the stuffing is precooked and the seasoning is a bit different.
In order to make chicken momo juicy I have added butter to the stuffing. There is no need to add chillies, garlic etc to the stuffing as that is balanced by the spicy garlic tomato chutney.
I don't add MSG instead I add soya sauce to the stuffing mix.
