Instructions
Making of Dough
  1. Mix 1 CUP All Purpose Flour (Maida), ¼ Teaspoon Baking Powder,1/2 Teaspoon Vegetable Oil and pinch of Salt in a bowl. Then add ½ CUP water and make the dough. In case the dough is too soft, add 1-2 Tablespoons of additional All Purpose Flour (Maida). The dough shouldn’t be very soft or hard, it’s should be stretchable.
  2. Once the dough is ready, keep it inside a wet towel, so that it does not get dry. This is a very important step.[the_ad id="2092"]
Making Of Stuffing:
  1. Take a bowl and mixed all the stuffing ingredients except vegetable oil, chopped garlic, chopped ginger and keep aside.
  2. Heat a skillet in medium flame, add vegetable oil and when the oil is hot enough add chopped garlic & chopped ginger. Stir for a min.
  3. Add mixed stuffing and stir for 6-10 minutes until the chicken has been cooked.
  4. Now your stuffing is ready, take it out from skillet, keep it aside to cool down and let’s make the Dumpling/Momo.
Making of the Dumpling (Momo)
  1. Then apply some oil on the dough press dumping maker.
  2. Take little bit of dough on a slightly dusty board and roll it into a very thin circle, then place on the dough press dumping maker.
  3. Keep some stuffing at the center and fold the dough press dumping maker.
  4. Take out the edges from outside. Open it and keep the raw Dumpling (Momo) aside.
  5. Repeat this process again. (Refer the above picture for step by step process).
  6. Heat water in pot.
  7. Take vegetable steamer and apply oil on it. I have used a simple Rice Strainer instead of regular steamer.
  8. Place the steamer/Rice Strainer on top of the pot, make sure it stays above the water.
  9. Once the steam has started to come out of the water, place few dumplings/momos and cover the steamer/Rice Strainer with a lid.
  10. The dumplings/momos will become transparent when they are done.It will take around 10 mins for the steamed dumplings/momos to get ready.Don't over steam it, otherwise it will become dry.
  11. Keep them aside.[the_ad id="2092"]
Final Step:
  1. Mix Red Chili Sauce, Soya Sauce, Oster Sauce, Tomato Catchup, pinch of Sugar, little bit of water and make a sauce.
  2. Heat a skillet in medium flame and add ½ - 1 Tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and saute for 30 sec.
  4. Add the steamed dumplings/momos and saute it for 1-2 mins.
  5. Pour the sauce you have made and toss the dumplings/momos.
  6. Your Pan Fried Chicken Dumpling/Momo is ready to be served.
Notes
The dough has to be perfect, not too soft or hard.
Always keep the dough in a wet towel.
When you roil the dough make sure you get it very thin.
Don't have too much stuffing, it might tear.
Don't steam for long time.
