Ingredients

• 2 cups Millet Flour (fine millet flour, sifted)
• 3/4 cup Water (lukewarm, adjust as needed for dough consistency)
• 1 tsp Salt (fine sea salt)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil (extra virgin, for dough softness)
• 1 cup Cabbage (finely shredded)
• 1/2 cup Carrot (grated)
• 1/2 cup Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (low sodium)
• 1/2 tsp Red Chili Flakes (adjust to heat preference)
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil (for aroma, added to filling)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Millet Dough

   In a mixing bowl combine millet flour, salt, olive oil and lukewarm water. Stir until a smooth, non‑sticky dough forms. Knead for 2‑3 minutes, then cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.

   Time: PT20M

2. Make the Vegetable Filling

   While the dough rests, heat a teaspoon of sesame oil in a pan. Add minced garlic, ginger, and onions; sauté until translucent. Add shredded cabbage, grated carrot, soy sauce, red chili flakes, and black pepper. Cook for 4‑5 minutes until vegetables are softened but still retain crunch. Remove from heat and let cool.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Roll and Cut the Dough

   Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle about 3‑4 inches in diameter. Use a small cutter or a glass rim to trim any uneven edges.

   Time: PT10M

4. Fill and Seal the Momos

   Place 1‑2 teaspoons of the cooled vegetable filling in the centre of each dough circle. Moisten the rim with a little water, fold the dough over to create a half‑moon, then pleat the edges to seal tightly.

   Time: PT15M

5. Steam the Momos

   Arrange the sealed momos in a steamer basket, leaving a little space between each. Steam over boiling water for 12‑15 minutes, or until the dough turns translucent and is cooked through.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 100°C

6. Serve

   Remove momos with a spatula, let cool for a minute, and serve hot with your favorite spicy chutney or a drizzle of soy‑ginger sauce.

   Time: PT5M
