Rose Dumplings

I’m a big dumpling lover. Every time I order Asian food, my appetizer includes a plate of dumplings/momos, and I mean it, every time. While I know how to make the regular dumplings, I came across these pretty rose-shaped ones on Pinterest & I instantly knew I had to try them.

Ingredients

  • For the Dough
  • 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour (Maida)
  • 1 Tsp of Salt
  • Warm Water
  • For the Filling
  • 1/2 Cup Kheema/Minced Meat
  • Salt to Taste
  • For the Dipping Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Chilli Flakes
  • 1/2 Cup Sesame Oil
  • 2 Tsp Chili Powder
  • 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic

Preparation

Prep: 25 minutes
Cooking: 25 minutes


  1. For the dough – In a clean bowl, add the flour, salt & warm water. Knead the dough until it’s soft. Cover using a muslin cloth or airtight container till you make the filling & dipping sauce.
  2. For the filling – Heat some oil in a pan, add the minced meat & season with salt. Let the kheema cook & cool down the mixture before you make the dumplings.
  3. For the filling – Heat some oil in a pan, add the minced meat & season with salt. Let the kheema cook & cool down the mixture before you make the dumplings.
  4. Now transfer the oil to a bowl and add the chilli flakes. Cover the bowl & let it cool down while it infuses the flavour from the chilli flakes.
  5. You can also add 1 tbsp of fish oil to finish.
  6. Now, the folding technique – Start by placing one dough wrapper on a chopping board and wet the right edge with water and overlap with another wrapper.
  7. Repeat the same with two more wrappers (4 petals). Spoon about a heaped teaspoon amount of the filling onto the centre of each wrapper.
  8. Wet the bottom edge of the wrappers with water using your finger and fold them in half. Now, start rolling the dumplings inwards from the right-and side. Seal and close the wrapper firmly.
