Veg Momo - Palak, Paneer and Cheese Momo

#mychildhoodrecipe #cookpadindia In the winters, over the weekend sometimes my maternal grandfather would very excitedly prepare veg momos for us, especially when someone from Darjeeling would get the Traditional Tibetan Cheese called Churpi ( it is like soft cottage cheese/ paneer type only ... sometimes it is fermented more and curry is made out of it ). Very meticulously he would prepare the stuffing, finely chop the onion, carrot and beans etc and the Amul Cheese too, which in those days used to come in cubes and as a block in a tin. I have a memory related with it when the day we were going to watch the movie Coolie and my grandfather was preparing the Veg Momo ☺️. Apart from making noodles for Thukpa , Veg Momo and Moongfali Chikki ( Peanut Chikki) he didn't use to cook. So whenever I make Veg Momo ( any type of Veg Momo) I remember my Grandfather. He was a foodie too, he would verbally collect recipes and come and tell my Grandma and she would try out the recipes at home . My son prefers Veg Momo over Non veg Momo but he loves it with Paneer, cheese and spinach only. He can have it all day from breakfast to dinner. Momo doesn't require much spices. Here I have used frozen spinach, which I have cleaned, washed and frozen to be used afterwards because it doesn't last for a long time in normal fridge. If using frozen spinach , discard the water out of it. You can add some green onion, cilantro too. #post14

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix in all ingredients except the salt and keep it in fridge till the dough and the Chutney is being prepared. After kneading the dough let it rest for half and hour.

* Step 2

After everything is ready, start heating the water at the base vessel of the steamer. Oil the steamers. Add salt as per taste and mix well. Divide the dough into lemon size and like a Puri roll it out, keep the centre thicker than the edges.

* Step 3

Now place the filling / stuffing and close it by bringing edges to together and making folds. When the steamers gets filled up, place it on the hot boiling vessel and steam for 30 mins. In this way make all the momos. Serve hot with chutney.
