Wheat Momos with Maggi

If it isn’t clear already, I LOVE MAGGI. I wish it was healthy to eat it as a staple meal. This is yet another Maggi recipe that will blow you away. I used wheat flour to make the momos because I didn’t really have maida but feel free to use the latter. It is important to have a tasty dip to accompany the momos and I loved the one I have used for this recipe. Enjoy! Recipe idea courtesy: Rajshri Food

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Wheat Flour
  • 4 Tsp
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp
  • 1 Tsp Oil
  • 2-3 Tbsp
  • 3 Cups Water
  • 1 Slab of Maggi Noodles
  • 1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Carrots
  • 1 Extra Pack Maggi Masala (Optional)

Preparation

Prep: 10 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes


  1. In a bowl, add wheat flour,4 tsp salt, ½ tsp oil, and 2-3 tbsp water. Knead this mixture for 10 minutes till it stops sticking to the surface of the bowl and forms a thick dough.
  2. Rest this dough for 20-30 minutes and cover it with a damp cloth.
  3. Meanwhile, in a pan, heat 1 tsp oil. Add chopped carrots and saute for 2 minutes on a low-medium flame.
  4. Add Maggi masala, 1 tsp salt, water, and the Maggi noodles to this and cook for 7-8 minutes till the Maggi gets well boiled.
  5. Make sure all the water gets soaked in and the consistency of the noodles is dry. Turn off the flame and let the noodle mixture cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Take the dough and make small balls out of it. Flatten these balls and roll them out with a rolling pin.
  7. In the middle of these flat circles, add 1 tbsp of Maggi noodle mixture and wrap them up in the shape of a dumpling.
  8. While closing these dumplings/momos/gyozas, make sure to add water around the edges so they don’t split while steaming.
  9. In a deep vessel, steam 3 cups of water and add a steel dish on it that is greased with butter/oil. On this dish, add all the dumplings and steam this on a low-medium flame for 10-15 minutes or till you see the wheat dumplings start to become transparent.
  10. Once they are steamed, you can also choose to pan-fry them in a pan with hot oil. Serve with ketchup or a dip made with soya sauce, schezwan, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
