Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Add 3 tbsp oil and knead for further 10 more minutes.
Cover and allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes once the dough has rested form large lime size roundel, exactly how we prepare roti, dip the roundel in flour and roll to form a roti.
Using a cookie cutter or a lid cutout rounds and reserve on a plate, repeat this process and form as many cutouts as possible reserve on a plate and cover with damp cloth, making sure the cutouts don't form a crust.

Repeat the process and finely chop entire batch of veggies.
Transfer the veggies to a mixing bowl, heat three tbsp of groundnut oil until smoky.

For Paneer Momos: For 1 part paneer combine 1/2 the amount of veggie mix and 1/4 amount of cheese, check for salt and add if needed.
Form momos and Start Steaming:
Place half tbsp mixture in the middle of the cutout sheet. Fold in half and seal all the edges.
To form button shape, join ends of the folded momo and prepare perfect looking button momo.
To pleat momo: place 1/2 tbsp filling in the middle of rolled out momo sheet, fold in half. Start forming pleats from one half and seal the edges pleat the other half and seal the edges.
