INGREDIENTS
Khazana- Plant Based Chicked Momo
METHOD
- You can microwave, steam, pan-fry, and air-fry momos.
- For microwaving: Step-1: Place the frozen chicken momos in a microwave-safe dish and brush with water. Microwave for 30 seconds on each side for 1-4 pieces or for 45 seconds on each side for 4-8 pieces. Serve with dipping sauce.
- For steaming: Step 2: Place the frozen momos in a steamer with a small amount of water and steam for over 8-10 minutes.
- For pan frying: Step 3: Put three tablespoons of oil in a non-stick fry pan and pan fry the momos on medium heat. Turn the momos frequently for 5-7 minutes until the outer portion turns golden brown.
- For air frying: Step 4: Spray oil on the cooking surface in the air fryer to prevent sticking. Place the momos in the air fryer and bake them in the oven at 375 degrees Celsius/176 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes. The momos should be browned slightly and crispy.
- For sauce preparation: Place sauce packets in hot water for at least 5 minutes to thaw the sauce.
