1 1/2 cup grated cabbage

1 cup  carrot, finely chopped

1/2  cup Green capsicum, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 Teaspoon black pepper powder

1 Tablespoon  Red chilly sauce

1 1/2 Teaspoon mixed herbs

1 Tablespoon oil

Method :

For the outer cover : 

In a mixing bowl, add the flour, salt and water (in parts) and knead to a soft dough. Add oil and knead it once again. Cover the dough and keep it aside for at least 30 minutes.

For the stuffing:

Heat oil in pan, add finely chopped garlic and fry it for a minute or till they turn golden brown in color. Add cabbage, capsicum, carrot and salt. Stir it well, cover and cook it for 3 minutes. The vegetables should be crisp and not overcooked.  Once the vegetables are soft, add in the red chilly sauce, peeper powder and mixed herbs. Stir it well. Switch off the gas and let it cool down. 

Shaping the momos:

Divide the dough in to medium sized balls. Sprinkle some flour on each dough ball and roll out into a thin circle of about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Place the stuffing in the center and seal it by folding and forming the pleats one by one. Join the pleats in the center and remove any excess dough if any, Prepare all the momos in the same way and keep them covered under a moist napkin to avoid it from drying. 

Steaming the momos:

Heat water in the steamer and grease the plates with little oil. Place the momos and make sure they do not touch each other. Steam them for 10 to 12 minutes.
