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

Ready to eat!
