How to make vegetable momo? – Healthy & tasty veg momos

Sometimes we like to eat healthy and clean food like vegetable momo. It’s so tasty, soft and healthy too. Do I like that too? The answer is definitely yes! But clean food? What is that? 🙂 I mean the healthy food is okay. That everyone will agree but clean food? Is there anybody who likes dirty food? Then why I am saying that it is a clean food? Then you should definitely check out veg momos recipe.

Vegetable momo & its stuffing

Okay don’t get annoyed, what I mean to say is, something easy to cook and needs fewer ingredients. Veg momos are such kind of food what you can make within a few minutes and you need very fewer ingredients to make this healthy and clean vegetable momo. You just need some chopped seasonal vegetables, soy sauce and refined wheat flour (that is maida). There are some traditional & some essential vegetables in momo. Cabbage is one of such traditional and preferred vegetable for momo and without cabbage, momo will not be so tasty.

Experiments on veg momos

Though you can always do experiment with various other vegetables excluding cabbage what I also tried that experiment was failed. So I always add cabbage in momo and good thing is that nowadays cabbage is available throughout the year. There are some cabbage heads what were stored in cold storage and gets sold during off season but there is some cabbage what is cultivated during off season. Here the taste of later one is better than the former (what I experienced). After cabbage, you are free to add any other vegetables to this clean food.

Momo and its types

Momo is a dumpling. It is also prepared with various stuffing items and based on that we have different types of mo mo food. There is another ingredient what you must use which is onion. You need onion for vegetable momo, paneer momo and also for chicken momo. I would say, for chicken momo, onion is an essential item to add. You need to fry the chopped onion first then add all other vegetables including cabbage. Sometimes I prefer to boil chopped cabbage before frying but nowadays I do not do this. Beans, carrot etc are very popular vegetables which are best suited for its stuffing material.

Veg Momos & momo’s chutney

Without momo’s chutney these veg momos are not so good but still, you can have it and enjoy this with tomato sauce or pickle. In such a case, I would suggest you add black pepper powder & aamchur (dry mango powder) when you are preparing vegetable for its stuffing. I personally prefer to add both in veg momos even if I have that special chilli garlic chutney for this.

I like this food very much because it needs very less oil and I am free to add any seasonal vegetables what I like. I just need to half fry all vegetables and steaming will take care of the rest part of cooking. So it helps to keep intact maximum nutrition value of all vegetables.

When I am writing this awesome food recipe, I am actually listening to music and enjoying soy granules masala with momos chutney & noodles. I will definitely share that recipe too in the near future and will let you know a nice story behind that dish.
