Instructions
Preparation to be done
Finely chop the vegetables (cabbage, onion, and spring onion greens) and grate the carrot.
Take finely chopped cabbage in a mixing bowl.
Add salt and mix. Keep it aside for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes squeeze out the excess water from the cabbage. Set this aside.
To make the momo dough
In another mixing bowl add all-purpose flour, salt, oil and water.
Knead a semi-stiff dough. Apply oil on the dough, cover and keep it aside.
To make the vegetable filling
Take cabbage, carrot, onion, spring onion greens, ginger garlic paste, soy sauce & black pepper powder in a mixing bowl.
Mix it and taste it.
Add salt(if needed as we have already added soy sauce), olive oil, lemon juice & red chili powder & mix. Cover and set aside.
Assembling the momos
Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes again. Make a small portion of the dough.
Roll it thin from the sides/edges and thick at the center.
Spoon some filling in the middle.
Seal the momos. Keep it covered with a kitchen towel. Same way, make the other momos.
Cooking the veg momos
Grease the steamer plate with some oil.
Heat the steamer. When the water in the steamer starts to boil it is ready.
Place the momos over the steamer plate.
Cover with the lid and steam for 12-15 minutes.
After 12 minutes the outer cover of the momos will be shiny. Remove it to a plate.
Serve the momos hot with spicy momo chutney(dip).

Notes
If you are making momos for the first time then seal the momos properly.
Removing excess water from the cabbage is important. Otherwise, when you will steam cook the momos the momos will be soggy.
You can add any vegetables of your choice. Make sure they do not turn out to be soggy when cooked.
Do not roll the outer cover of the momos thick.
Make sure to knead the dough properly. If the dough is smooth and stretchy, your momos will be perfect.
Taste the momo filling before adding salt. Soy sauce is salty and we have already added salt in finely chopped cabbage to squeeze out the water.
Serve momos immediately with any spicy dip. Once cooled down they don't taste good.
Addition of red chili powder is optional. If you do not prefer spicy food then skip adding it.
