  • Stick the un-pleated side with the pleated one and gently bring the ends of the momos inwards - so as to give it a curved shape

  • Another shape is the pleated ones. To make this, you have to keep pushing the wrapper from one end and pinching it until you reach the end (check the video link below)

Notes

  • *Apply water only if your momo wrapper is dry. If it is moist enough and sticks, then do not apply any water
  • These proportions of ingredients, yielded 19 chicken momos
  • If you do not want your chilli chutney to be very spicy, deseed them first and then soak in water
  • If you have a bamboo steamer, do use it for steaming the momos
  • Dust the rolled wrappers, well with flour and then stack. If not, then they may stick to each other and you may have to repeat the process againĀ 
  • You will know your momos are cooked, when they don't feel sticky on touching. As far as the chicken filling is concerned, it will be cooked in 15 minutes since mince doesn't take long to cook
