Serves: People
Ingredients
- 120 g Lamb mince or pre-cooked puy lentils
- 1 Spring onion finely chopped
- ½ tsp Ground Cumin
- ½ tsp Mild curry powder madras
- 2 clove Garlic minced or grated
- ½ Red chilli finely chopped
- ½ Banana Shallot diced
- ½ Lime zest and juice
- 15 g Fresh Coriander 2 tbsp, chopped
- Sea salt to taste
- Cracked black pepper to taste
- 10 Dumpling wrappers
Method
- Mix all the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine well.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and spoon about 1 tsp filling in the centre of one circle, then use your thumb and forefinger to pinch together an edge of the dough into a fold (you can use cold water to seal).
- Continue to pinch along the edge of the circle and work your way all the way round.
- Bring all the pinched edges of the circle together to cover the filling and twist the top to seal it. Repeat with the rest of the dough and filling.
- Quarter fill a pan than fits a bamboo steamer with water, layer the steamer with baking parchment and pierce some holes in it.
- Place the momos on the baking parchment and steam for 20 mins. They should look transparent and not feel sticky when fully cooked.
