Street Food Series: Fried Momos / Kurkure Momos Recipe

Momos are a staple dish across Himalayan region, recently I got to know fried momos are prepared to celebrate one's birthday. Fried momos are also very popular across instagramers, I was inspired to recreate this recipe at home after viewing many posts.

Momos are a popular street food that we relish during tea time only few speciality momo stalls prepare these fried momos, We can prepare momos with various stuffing using tofu, paneer, cheese, corn, meat, veggies or chicken as per choice and prepare this dish.

I've chosen a soya chunk filling which is much healthier and contains very less oil. This recipe is vegan, packed with protein and veggies.

Ingredients:
15 to 20 Frozen Momos
500 ML Sunflower Oil
200 Grams Corn Flakes
150 Grams Bread Crumbs
1 Tbsp Chilly Powder
1 Tbsp Kitchen King Masala
1 Tbsp Chowmein Masala (Chings Masala Powder)
Salt as per taste...

Method:

Prepare Chilly Batter: In a mixing bowl combine corn flour and maida.

Add chilly powder, noodles masala and garam masala to the flour.

Add salt as per taste...gradually add water mix and prepare a lump free batter.

Add corn flakes and bread crumbs to a plate, crush to form a coarse powder.

Heat 250 Grams oil for frying on medium flame. Allow the oil to reach temperature.

Dip the momo in the batter and roll it in the crumb mixture.

Prepare a batch of five to six crumb coated momos and reserve.

Once the oil reaches temperature gently drop the crumb coated momos in hot oil and fry on medium flame.

Flip the momo and fry the momos for 2 minutes on each side or until the momos turn golden in color...drain from excess oil and serve hot.

If you so nit prefer crumb coated momo the fry the momos with out any coating.

Make sure the momo is cold and gently drop in hot oil and fry for a minute on each side...drain and serve hot with chutney and mayo...Enjoy 😊

Momos store well refrigerated until use. I would suggest to store these momos in a zip lock bag and freeze it until use. We can reheat the momos in microwave or fry them cold it will reach temperature.
