Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
For the momo dough
1. Mix the whole wheat flour, refined flour, sugar, salt and white vinegar. Add water gradually and knead into a semi-soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a bowl, combine the minced chicken, green onion, coriander stems, garlic paste, chopped ginger, soy sauce and salt. Mix well.
3. Roll the rested dough into thin circles. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the centre, fold and pleat the edges to seal the momos.
4. Arrange the momos in a steamer and steam for 15 minutes, or until fully cooked.
5. To make the chutney, cook the tomatoes, Kashmiri red chillies, salt and water for 5-6 minutes.
6. Dry roast the peanuts and coriander seeds for 2-3 minutes.
7. Blend the cooked tomatoes with the roasted peanuts, coriander seeds and garlic cloves into a smooth chutney.
8. Serve the hot steamed momos with the spicy chutney.
Heat a little oil in a pan and add the tomatoes, Kashmiri red chillies, salt and water. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the tomatoes soften. In another pan, dry roast the peanuts and coriander seeds for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the cooked tomatoes with the remaining liquid to a blender. Add the roasted peanuts, coriander seeds and garlic cloves, then blend until smooth. Serve the freshly steamed high-protein chicken momos hot with the spicy chutney on the side.
