Momos

Yesterday was a tiring day in Guatemala. It rains crazy here from May to October almost every afternoon till dusk. It is  beautiful to watch the pregnant clouds, the rains, the greenery, the mountains and the colorful  flowers dancing all over the city. The volcanoes that surround the city look so beautiful doing a peek-a -boo covered with mist.
Landslides are common during the rainy season. They call them "Derrumbes" ( they room bays). A funny name!!!
Some landslides occurred right in the city in one of the busiest  highways Carratera El Salvador:. The school buses were cancelled and I had to go to school to pick up the kids all the way in the traffic and by the time they reached home it was close to 7 pm. Solid hours flew by in the traffic and left me with no time to do my practices or prepare for the next day.  I took it easy because today is Friday too.

I made these Momos a while ago, but got time to post only now.

Ingredients :

For the outer cover
All Purpose flour - 1 cup
Salt - a pinch
Oil - a tbsp

For the filling
Vegetables of your choice finely chopped
Soy sauce - 1 tsp
Salt and Chilli - as per taste

Method:

• Saute the vegetables on high flame al dente.
• Add salt, chilli and soy sauce
• Let it cool
• Mix the flour, salt and oil and roll to a firm dough.
• Rest the dough for a while 
• Make small puris and put the filling inside and make them into momos.
• To make the momos filling, gather the outer cover like pleats and give a twist.
• Steam them for ten minutes
• Serve with Hot and Sweet Sauce.
• I mixed Chipotle and Tomato Salsa and it was yummy.

Enjoy!!!!
