2 Tbsp Sesame Oil

1 Tbsp Salt

1/4 Tsp Ajinomoto (MSG)

2 Tbsp Lime Juice

Prawn Filling:

In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients mentioned for filling leaving out the salt. We can always add salt once we are preparing the momos. Cover the filling and refrigerated until use.

Momo Wraps Ingredients:

2 Cups Maida (All Purpose Flour)

1/4 Tsp Salt

1/4 Tsp Baking Powder

2 Tbsp Oil

1 1/2 Cup Luke Warm Water

Prepare the Dough and Wrappers:

In a mixing bowl combine all-purpose-flour, baking powder and salt, gradually add warm water in small batches and form a smooth dough. 

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 soup bowl or a round 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.

Heat a wok with water and place the steam basket or place a steamer to cook the momos.

Start forming the momos, on a clean surface, off center and overlap the cutout circles 4 to 5 to make one rosette. 

Place the filling off center almost to one edge of the dough circle and fold in half.

With few drops of water seal the edges and start rolling the filled dough to form a flower shape.

Prepare 4 to 5 in a batch.  

Place the prepared momos in the steamer and cook for 10 minutes on high. We can create and prepare 3 to 4 batches with in 40 minutes. 

Plate the cooked momos with mayo, chutney and sprinkle with peri peri seasoning and enjoy!

These momos pair well with jasmine tea or apple tea. Serve the right condiments to enhance the flavor and taste...serve a generous portion of spring onion chutney and mayo or soya sauce with wasabi is also a good combo.
