    1. You can add mushrooms, tofu, or paneer along with the veggies. Finely chopped spinach, bell peppers, broccoli, or even boiled sweet corn also work well. Just make sure the filling isn’t too wet, so the momos hold their shape while steaming.

  1. Comes out very good, just takes time if you want to make it for many people. I’ve been using an idli steamer, which only has 11 lots, and each load takes about half an hour of cooking, so imagine you have to make this for 20 people.5 stars

  2. Tried this recipe, result: Extremely delicious momos. …awesome ????
    Very well explained, neatly written recipe.
    Thanks a lot. ??????5 stars

  3. Very nice recipes are there and of different differ states so we can know the recipes of all states.5 stars

  5. I don’t usually cook but tried this in my spare time and instructions were clear but I goofed up in those dumplings in which I used my judgement..lol..dd liked it and wish to know if this can be made from wheat flour or rice flour? Any special precautions while making it with rice flour as we are not much fond of maida.
    Thankyou for sharing this recipe in such a simple format and nice presentation.5 stars

    1. thanks a lot saida and welcome. with rice flour, knead the dough with hot water or cook rice flour in hot water. the method would be same as making kozhukattai or modak.

  6. I had momo’s regularly in a Tibetan cafe they came in a clear soup flavored with mint & Chilli.

  7. Can you share momos with different stuffings.. and please try to share ravioli recipe eggless.

    1. i will try to add chinmayee. i do have plans to add fried momo made with potato or paneer. yes ravioli is in my to do list. thanks.

  8. Hello.. any suggestions on what will go well with these momos for a dinner menu? Noodles or fried rice etc.? Thanks so much.

  9. I have just gone through the momos recipe. I have to prepare it for my daughter. I hope I will enjoy the preparation and my daughter will like the home made momos.

  10. Hi Dasanna
    Loved this recipe. Tried today and it’s taste was awesome. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.5 stars

  11. Hi Dassana
    I love the recipes you post, they are easy & tasty. I look for your recipes when I search & 8 out of 10 land up doing your recipe for any new dish.
    I had a doubt in the whole wheat momos you haven’t pan fried the veggies , why is that.
    Thank you & keep posting yummy recipes.4 stars

    1. thanks shwetha. when i used to make momos before, i use to stir fry the veggies. but later i tried just adding veggies directly and also a few readers from north east had mentioned to me that veggies are never sautéed or stir fried. so there is no need to stir fry. the veggies do get cooked when they are steamed. you can stir fry for some time if you want. both ways veg momos can be made.

      1. Tried the veg momos it was yummy, thanks for the recipe. I did sauté them next time I’ll try it without sautéing.5 stars

  12. Hi Dassana
    I want to try making these. Just a quick question. Instead of rolling each portion of dough individually, can I roll it into a big chapati kind of shape and then cut them into circles using a bowl or glass? I am thinking it will save lot of time..

  13. Hi Dassana,
    Momos taste good when hot.
    How do I serve it hot for guests.

    Is it okay to refrigerate overnight. And just steam it when guests arrive ? Hope it does not turn rubbery.
    -Or- is it good to simple reheat cooked one in microwave ? Please advice.

    1. shilpa, you can refrigerate overnight and steam later. just make the momos and then cover them in an air-tight box, so that the outer cover of the momos does not dry out. keep in the fridge. then later let them come to a room temp and then steam them. they won’t become rubbery. if you reheat then they become dense.

  14. Hii dassana I just love your recipes and tried many of them. Can you tell me the name of restaurant which is in goa famous for momos as you mentioned above5 stars

  15. What kind of steamer do you use? It will be helpful to know if anyone of these multi-purpose steamer works, which can do dhokla, patra, momos,etc. From the look of it, it looks like an electric steamer?5 stars

    1. abhiruchi, its an electric rice cooker. i had got the steamer pan also with the cooker, so use it for steaming. i steam veggies and even dishes like dhokla, patra etc in it.

  16. Thanks for this wonderful recipe, u have a great website with almost every recipe I look for!
    I have a doubt here,
    I don’t want to use Maida in my momos, can I use rice flour instead? Or can u suggest any other healthy alternative?5 stars

    1. thanks savitha. you can make with whole wheat flour or a combination of whole wheat + jowar or whole wheat + bajra flour or whole wheat + barley flour. you can also make with rice flour, the way modaks are made.

  17. hi,this is treza here i have been going through your recipes like momos and other sauce and mathri i really liked them infact i loved them very easy to understand and looks good to deffently ill be trying these because basically am a pastry chef by profession so this is somthing that will help me to cook at home thank you god bless you with lots of love and good wishes

  18. All your recipes are so spot on! Your website is saved in my favorites on all my devices. Well done!! I applaud you for so much of hardwork you put in all your recipes. ???5 stars

  19. regarding this veg momos recipe my suggestion is not to stir/ cook the stuffings (chopped veges) on high flame. Specially when u have advised it to be finally chopped .We did the same and in seconds it got charred and we had to throw the the entire veges as it was full of charred smell. Finally chopped things are always best cooked in low flame. rest is ok with the recipe .

    1. i am sorry this happened. generally when i saute finely chopped veggies, i never face this issue. it depends on the kind of pan used. if the pan has a thick base, then the heat is evenly distributed. i will update in the recipe. thanks for the suggestion.

  20. You are awesome ma’am.. the way you explain and everything is just fabulous.. I have tried many of your recipes and all of them have turned out pretty well.. Lots of respect..?

  21. Hi dassana
    I m big fan of yours. I have tried many of your recipes and almost all of them turned out huge hits. Can you please share tandoori soya tikka or veg chaap tikka recipe.they are quite popular here in Punjab and my hubby loves to eat them. But I want to make them at home for hygiene reasons.

  22. Hello Thanks buddy for the dishes u added for cooking was awasome and easy to cook. Thank u very much. But still there some North indian and Odia recipies are missing if you will add then it will more superb for us. Thanks5 stars

  23. Hi.. thanks for the wonderful recipe.. my hubby loved it 🙂 I added shredded chicken pieces in this. Hubby wants me to add cheese in this. Plz tell me can I add mozzarella cheese in this. Thanks in advance

  24. I tried this recipe today and it turned out great. I also added some boiled noodles in it and it tasted good.thanks 🙂
    I’m also looking for Mexican Rice recipe. Can you please help me with that?

  25. This was such a great recipe! We made it yesterday and they were delicious! We’ve just come back from Rishikesh where we had many momos and so love that we can now make them at home back in the UK. Thank you very very much!

  26. My husband loved it. I tried red chilli sauce also. It turned awsome in first try. Really thanks for your recipe

  27. Okay.. I don’t mean to be offensive here but is that really the way the filling is supposed to look like? Cuz yours looks a bit over fried.. Also is 1 cup maida enough for 14 momos??

    1. the filling if you see in the see in the pic in the pan , after its made, does not look over done. while stuffing, the filling appears dark. its due to low lighting in my kitchen and the contrast effects due to camera. the filling is just cooked and not over done. if you want you can even keep them half-cooked. 1 cup of maida is enough for 14 momos.

  28. I love momo i and my wife taste the momo in india at dharamshala in jenuary
    We are the italian couple and loving india.
    Thanks for receipe.

  29. Awesome recipe. Made it first time at home and prepared perfectly. Everyone enjoyed the taste……..4 stars

  31. My sister n I were planning to cook momos.We were at sea how to cook.Watching ur presentation made it so simple we wudn’t have thought.Now i wanna say i love momos.
    Thanks vijay

  32. Dear friend, I never had thought I can learn how to cook momos ,until I saw your wonderful video. Thank you for the way you taught us in a most simplest manner.

  33. Hey Dassana quick question….can one keep momos ready and steam say after couple of hrs??
    Thanks!

  34. you know how much i love them they are like my best street food i have ever had and i love them so much thanx to u that i could also know how to make them in my home on my own rather than going out and looking for them but all thanx to u

  35. Dear Amit

    Just found your site.

    Your Step-by-step image presentation is very good.

    Anyone with basic understanding of indian cooking can easily understand what you are saying.

    The best thing is your suggestion on cooking timing and reasoning of more and less timing give exact idea of what will be the outcome

    Regards

    Thanks

  36. Hi..
    I have tried few of ur recipes n they came out really well. Well, for this recipe i hv better version n would like to suggest u few changes, if u allow me. Consider adding cloves (7-8) and bayleaf (5-6) in the water that u keep for steaming momos.it wud amplify the taste manifold. I live in nepal n hv tasted original momos. Consider adding momo masala to veggies instead of soy sauce for authentic taste n flavour.

      1. Almost all leading brands like catch, everest, and BMC (m nt sure if BMC is available in india) have their momo masala. Sorry, i don’t know of home version. If u come up, please do share.

  37. Dear Sir, Before this i never ate Momos, once my wife make Momos as per your recipe, I taste a small quantity as I don’t know the taste but the taste was fantastic and I ate number of Momos, thank you for this delicious recipe.5 stars

  38. Can I add paneer in the vegetable stuffing? Would that make a difference in the kind of balls to made from the dough?

    1. yes you can add grated or shredded paneer. i would suggest you to saute the paneer for a minute after the veggies are done. so that there is no moisture in the paneer.

  39. Hi Dassana…
    I jus loved ur way of preparation of momos by step by step. I’ll definitely try it.It seems very easy by ur method

  40. Dassana di,

  42. Sir, Thanks for such a detailed recipe of Momos; now I will definitely try it. Just one query, can we use microwave to cook Momos and if yes, please explain how?

  43. hey dassana,
    Your recipes r amazing..have tried some from it n the end result is excellent.i am fond of cooking, so if i am not preparing , i still browse through your recipes.
    Me and my family loves momos..especially the fried ones..when in delhi, we used to have from lajpat nagar, a small stall…they used to make excellent fried momos and sauce…never had such gud ones…could u give recipe on how to prepare fried momos??thanks..

  44. Hi dassana. I tried ur ragi dosa with fermentation and homemade paneer recipes and they came out PERFECT. Thanks for such detailed recipes. I want to try out the momos now, and have 2 questions: a) can i use whole wheat flour, if yes, how long shall i steam for? B) if i want to make it in advance and store it for unexpected guests, how can i do so? Thanks for ur reply in advance!

    1. thanks pia for the feedback on the recipes. you can use whole wheat flour. but roll them thinly. same time you steam them. i would suggest to steam them fresh and serve.

  45. which rice cooker is that ? i saw you make momos and dhokla in it , can we make idli in it too ?

    1. harvinder, this is panasonic electric rice cooker. you can steam dhokla, vegetables, momos and also make idli in it. i make idlis in it also and often use it to steam vegetables.

  46. thanks for the simple and mouth watering recepie… my children love to eat momos…

  48. Hi.i made ur recipie it was good also but my out covering after steaming became rubbery y is that…

  49. hi Dassana, I am from Goa presently in US, i have tried many recipes from your blog and all of them have come perfect, thanks for the detailed explanation. I am very fond of momos; the 1st time i tasted them was in pune n felt in love with them , when i came back to Goa, i didn’t found this momos any were except in caculo mall ,panjim not that authentic…..could you please let me know which restaurant( tibetant ) you r mentioning of in Goa….on my next visit I can try them out, thanks

    1. welcome kavita. actually the restaurant is a small one and is based in varca. from colva, when you go towards benaulim from inside shortcut road (via maria hall) there is a big church at varca. just 100 meters ahead, straight down from varca church is the small shop with sitting arrangements. the wife is tibetan and husband is goan. they have a good menu of tibetan recipes. enjoy

      1. Hi Kavita this Tibetan momos joint is called the Tibchis n it is located a little further from VArca church the main road heading towards holiday inn MOBOR South Goa. U should try them wen u down in goa bcoz they r the best n u won’t get that flavour of the sauce anywhere else. Poonam’s momos r to die for n wen u get there pls ask the sauce recipe n pls pls pls reply here

  50. nice way to prepare momos. my mom prepared with her desi style. Thanxxxxxxxxx Dassana…….

  51. The momos came out well and tasty…but would like it to be white..instead of cream colour..any suggestion please

  52. Hi Dasanna, I made momos. They were delicious. Thanks for the detailed recipe. But my covering was thick, I guess I should make it thinner next time. It requires lot of time, so lost the patience;)

  53. Thanks for posting this recipe dassana… like your presentation and details… Looks like very tasty dish… I’m gonna make it definitely…5 stars

  54. M really sorry to say bt this is not the way to make momo,we being from north east know how to make momo…we never add garlic howeva we do add ginger,nd we never stir fry veg stuff nor we add soy sauce or pepper…

    1. there are many ways a recipe is made. this is how i make momos. if you taste samosa, every person and every place has their own variation of making them. we prefer the veggies to be cooked and then added as stuffing, then adding them raw. ginger, garlic, pepper and soy sauce is a matter of personal preference and taste.

    1. if you are referring to microwave oven, then i am not sure how the momos will turn out. i have not even tried steaming the momos in the microwave oven.

  55. One of my favorite Chinese dish. Thanks Dassana for sharing this recipe. Can I use microwave to steam the momos ?

  56. Hi dassana,
    lovely momos… explained really well..the best thing is u even know what mistake in preparation can result blunder in final dish…for example rolling maida thin at ends and thick in center and the transparent look of momos…now i can give it a try…thanks a lot5 stars

  57. Dassana, you have explained so nicely how to make momos, that now I too have gained some confidence to try them at home 🙂5 stars

  58. Beautiful & Delicious Momos Dassana.. 😛 😛

        1. Hi Dasanna,

          I tried making these today in the rice cooker. They didn end up soft and juicy. Were pretty thick skinned. Where did I go wrong? Could the dough be too hard or I didn make them flat and thin enough ?

          Thanks in advance. 🙂

          1. i think pallavi, the dough was not rolled thin and even. if the dough is thickly rolled, the momos become dense. over steaming will also make them hard. next time roll them thinly and evenly.
