Healthy Momos

Momos are Indian/Nepalese dumplings. Most of us are familiar with Chinese dumplings, which have a bit of sweetness. The momos that we make are spicy and delicious. Below is a recipe to make momos and rather than using a flour wrapper, ill use spinach leaves to turn it into a healthy option.

Momo filling:
2 lbs ground chicken
1.5 Red Onions
6 to 8 green chillies - small
6 cloves garlic
1/3 box Momo masala(you can use all spice, coriander, and cumin powder if you don't have momo masala)
Salt for taste (2tsp is what I typically use)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Optional - chopped cilantro (4 to 6 stems)

Spinach or lettuce leaves for wrapper

Process:
Empty ground chicken in a bowl
In food processor, puree onion, garlic, and green chillies
Mix throughly the purée and ground chicken
Add the spices and keep mixing
Add cilantro and mix



Use spinach or lettuce to place filling and use toothpick for closure. I've placed mine with normal momos.



Steam for 15 minutes

Eggless Coconut Cake

It is my anniversary today and I wanted to bake a coconut cake to celebrate. Since I'm on a Paleo diet, it is important that I stay away from gluten, dairy, soy, and grains. Typically, It is important to put eggs for moistness but I ran out so I used almond butter. Here are my ingredients:

Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of baking soda
3/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup almond butter
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup walnuts

Pre-heat oven to 325

Step 1 - mix coconut flour, salt, and baking soda

Step 2 - mix coconut oil, coconut palm sugar, honey, and almond butter

Step 3 - mix all ingredients from step 1 and 2. Once mixed, add shredded coconut and walnuts

Step 4 - place the mixture in a baking pan and cook for 35 minutes.

Enjoy!!!!!!!
