Step 1 –Filling preparation- mix 1lb ground chicken, 2 garlic cloves grated, 1 tsp ginger grated,¼ cup chopped green onion, ½ shredded cabbage, ¼ cup shredded carrot, Salt and pepper tastewise, ¼ tsp garam masala, ¼ tsp cumin powder, ¼ tsp coriander powder, pinch of mace, pinch of nutmeg. Mix and the spices settle in.

Step 2- heat 3 tsp oil on med hi heat, add ½ tsp fenugreek seed, fry till they turn dark, then turn off heat and add ¼ tsp turmeric. Add that to the ground chicken mix. Mix and set aside Fillings done

Step 3- Lets make the dough. In a mixer add 2 cups all purpose flour. Add salt tastewise. And let it mix. Then gradually add lukewarm water to form the dough. In total I added ½ cup and 3 tablespoon of waterDough should be ready when all the flour from the bowl is used up and there’s not really much residue left. It should be kneaded for atleast 10 minutes. It will make the dough soft. Cover it up with a wet paper towel for a minimum of 30 minutes. Dough is done.

Step 4- Lets make the jhol or gravy. In a pan on medium heat toast 2 tsp sesame seeds for 2 mins. In a blender add 3 tablespoon roasted peanuts and the toasted sesame seeds. Blend that into a powder. In the same pan add 3 tsp oil on medium heat. Add ½ tsp cumin seeds. Cook for a minute. Then add 2 cups tomato chunks. Cook for 2 mins. Then add 3 whole dried red chilli and ½ tsp garam masala. Cook for a minute. Add ½ cup water and 2 tsp miso paste. Stir everything in.Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Tomatoes are soft now. Add 2 tsp lemon juice. And remove to cool it down

Step 5- In a large blender add the peanut sesame seed powder. And pour the gravy in. Blend till its smooth. Pour the gravy back in the pan. Add some water to adjust thickness. And that’s it, jhol is ready

Step 6- Now lets shape the momos. Poke a hole in the dough. Use the hole to spread the dough into a large donut shape. Cut it into half to make 2 rope like pieces. Sprinkle flour Roll the ropes..so that it turns smooth.Then cut both ropes into small even sized pieces about an inch wide. Got 20 pieces. Sprinkle some flour so that when rolling it wont stick to the surface.Cover the pieces with a large wet paper towel to keep moisture. Take one piece and press with your palms. Use a rolling pin

To make into small circular shapes. Put the filling in. don’t over fill. I am not good at making shapes. I leave it upto you to create your own shapes. I did what was the easiest for me.

Step 7- I had a steamer ready to go. Please prepare it before hand.Boil the water on low heat. Spray some cooking oil, it will prevent the momo’s sticking to the steamer. Lay them carefully, with some space because they will increase in size. Cover and steam for 18 to 20 minutes.

Step 8- Set the jhol in a plate, gently set the momo’s. garnish with some cilantro and Enjoy !!!!
