School’s out, and with the holidays in full swing, every home is buzzing with one demand—something new to eat every day! And if your kids love street-style momos, it’s time to skip the outside stuff and make a healthier, tastier version at home.

Trust me, once you make these easy momos, you’ll stop ordering them from outside. Let’s get right into it!

Homemade Momos Recipe (Step-by-Step)

For the Dough:

• 1 cup maida (you can also use wheat flour)
• A pinch of salt
• 1 tsp oil
• Water (as needed)

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, oil, and water to make a soft dough. Cover and let it rest while we prep the stuffing.

For the Stuffing:

• 2 tsp finely chopped garlic
• 3 green chilies (adjust to taste)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup cabbage, finely chopped
• 2 capsicums, finely chopped
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp Chukde Black Pepper Powder (this is the secret twist!)

👉 Heat oil in a pan. Add garlic and green chilies, sauté for a few seconds. Add onion and cook until translucent.

👉 Now toss in the cabbage and capsicum (you can also add grated carrots). Sauté everything on high flame for 2-3 minutes.

👉 Add salt and Chukde’s freshly ground black pepper powder—it gives a bold, zesty kick that elevates the flavor completely.

Your stuffing is ready!

How to Shape & Steam Momos?

1. Divide the dough into small balls and roll out thin circles.
2. Fill each with a spoonful of stuffing.
3. Fold and shape however you like—half-moons or pleated dumplings.
4. Grease a steaming plate or sieve with oil. Place the momos carefully.
5. In a large pan, add water and place the momos plate on top. Steam for about 15 minutes on low flame.

That’s it! Hot, fresh, and totally irresistible momos are ready to serve!

Perfect For:

• Kids’ evening snacks
• Family weekend treats
• Party appetizers
