This one’s a quintessential steamed chicken momos dishes amongst all & I’d tried these at first in Kolkata in my College Days & then, directly from its very own land in the Sikkim, in my Honeymoon (Loved the most what I had it from its place of origin)
Since at that point, we’d been to Darjeeling & Mirick too, I could realise that it differed quite subtly in tastes & flavours including in its Chutneys served along with it & I ultimately concluded with the very fact, what I loved most is its Darjeeling version- Hence, trying to share it with you all as much as I can do so very closely 👍🏻

Cooking Instructions

60 mins.
  1. 1

    First Up: We need to prepare its dough & then set aside for about 30 mins rest time- So, add in a mixing bowl all the aforesaid ingredients for the same & knead it to a firm yet, pliable dough- Cover it & set aside-
    Next comes its Chicken Fillings 👇🏻 to be readied

  2. 2

    For that: Add in all the aforementioned ingredients in one mixing bowl & give it all a quick mix as is & then, roughly blend the boiled chicken keema in the blender jar, set aside- Add in them back into the same mixing bowl- All the aforesaid ingredients for the same along with the roughly/ coarsely blended chicken keema (so that, the bits & pieces of it is also found in the mouth while relishing it)

  3. 3

    Now, keep ready & handy the Momo/Dim Sum steamer- Grease it with some oil, post laying it out with either cabbage leaves or parchment paper (ensuring the Momos aren’t stuck to the base of it)

  4. 4

    Now, once more knead the dough for about 2 mins time, on the work station- before dividing it into required numbered dough-lets- Roll each one into about 2-3 cms in diameter- add in the filling mixture in the middle of it & then giving it your choicest shapes- (Any)

  5. 5

    While, rolling out one at a time- Cover the rest other dough-lets with the damp cloth piece again- Once all are done: Put them into the steamer in a row-Since mine’s a bamboo steamer: I simply had filled in, one large vessel with sufficient water for steaming- placing a stand on it & placing the Bamboo Steamer on it (it comes with a cover of its own)- once the water starts boiling, rolling boil

  6. 6

    If any steamer doesn’t have any cover of its own- Then, in the large vessel- on which the steamer need be placed, should be covered completely with its own lid/cover, in order to steam-cook the Dim Sums properly for about 15-20 mins time, on the low-medium heat

  7. 7

    Once done: Transfer it onto your serving plate and serve the same with some homemade Chutney or Sauce of your choice- (as seen in the pics above) 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

  8. 8

    Enjoy your snacking- Lipsmacking...🤤😋
