INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground chicken

3 whole wonton wrappers

0.25 cup red onion

0.25 cup green cabbage

1 tbsp fresh cilantro

1 tsp fresh ginger

1 tsp garlic

0.5 tsp ground cumin

0.5 tsp ground coriander

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp toasted sesame oil

1 medium tomato

1 tsp sesame seeds

0.5 tsp turmeric powder

1 small green chili

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely minced red onion, shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, grated ginger, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, sea salt, black pepper, and sesame oil.

• 2

  Mix the filling thoroughly by hand until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture becomes slightly tacky.

• 3

  Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and add a rounded tablespoon of the chicken mixture to the center of the wrapper.

• 4

  Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then pleat and fold the edges together to seal the dumpling into a tight circular or half-moon shape.

• 5

  Arrange the momos in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves, ensuring they do not touch each other to prevent sticking.

• 6

  Steam the momos over boiling water for 10 to 12 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the wrappers appear translucent.

• 7

  While the momos steam, roast the whole tomato and green chili over an open flame or in a dry pan until the skins are charred and blistered.

• 8

  Blend the charred tomato, chili, toasted sesame seeds, turmeric, and a pinch of salt until a smooth, vibrant dipping sauce forms.

• 9

  Serve the hot momos immediately with a generous side of the smoky tomato achar for dipping.
