These momos feature a savory filling made from plant-based lamb, expertly seasoned with spices like cumin, coriander, and garlic. You can steam them or pan-fry them to perfection per your test buds. Indeed, making these momos from scratch can be quite time-consuming; however, using this Ready-to-Cook mix significantly simplifies the process without compromising its authentic taste.
INGREDIENTS
METHOD
- You can microwave, steam, pan-fry, and air-fry momos.
- For microwaving: Step-1: Place the frozen plant-based lamb 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 plant-based lamb momos in a steamer with a small amount of water and steam for 8-10 minutes.
- For pan frying: Step 3: Put three tablespoons of oil in a non-stick fry pan and pan fry the lamb 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 lamb momos in the air fryer and bake them in the oven at 375 degrees Celsius/176 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes. The lamb 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.
