What do you need to make Momo Paratha? (Ingredients)
The ingredients are the same as what you’ll easily find in your kitchen:
For the base: Wheat flour.
Vegetables: Half a cabbage, 1 bell pepper, 1 carrot, and 1 cup finely chopped onion.
For the tempering: Ginger, garlic, green chilies (finely chopped).
Spices and sauces: Salt, black pepper powder, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
Garnishing: Fresh coriander, white sesame seeds, green onions, and oil for cooking.
How to make it: Step-by-step guide
Preparing the vegetables: First, wash and roughly chop the cabbage, bell pepper, and carrot. Now, finely chop them using a food chopper. (Remember, we don’t want to make a paste, just keep the crunch!)
Prepare the spicy filling: Heat some oil in a pan. Add ginger, garlic, and green chilies and sauté lightly. Now add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Once the onions are soft, add the chopped vegetables and cook on high heat for 5 minutes so that the water from the vegetables dries up.
The saucy twist: Now add salt, black pepper, and soy sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes and finally add plenty of fresh coriander and turn off the gas. Your ‘momo stuffing’ is ready! 4. Pro-tip for rolling the paratha: Take a ball of regular wheat flour dough and roll it into a circle. Place the filling in the center and fold it into a triangle shape. Sprinkle some white sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top of the paratha (this will make the paratha look just like the ones from a restaurant).
Cook until golden and crispy: Place the paratha on a hot griddle and cook it on both sides until golden brown, using oil or ghee.
Is it really healthy?
Maida vs. Wheat: Restaurant momos are made with refined flour (maida), which is difficult to digest. This paratha is made with whole wheat flour, which is rich in fiber.
A treasure trove of vegetables: It uses cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers, providing children with vitamins and antioxidants.
Controlled oil: At home, you can control the amount of oil or ghee used according to your preference.
Serving tip: Serve it with spicy red momo chutney and mayonnaise. Trust me, the kids will lick their plates clean!
