How to make Tibetan Momos Recipe?

- Cook the mixture on medium flame for 2-3 minutes.
- Turn of the gas and allow it the mixture to cool, so that the mixture doesn’t leave water.

- Apply water with your fingertips around the circumference of the dough and then add the stuffing in the center. Start folding the dough into a dimsum shape or any preferred shape of your choice.
- Steam the momos in a steamer.
- The momos can also be deep fried.
