Vegetable Momos

Filling
Onion, cabbage, green beans and cauliflower all finely chopped and lightly steamed or blanched until slightly limp, enough to make about 3-4 cups.
Season with minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce and salt
1 teaspoon garam masala optional
Oil to moisten

Dough
3-4 cups flour and enough cold water to make a smooth dough. Knead lightly and break off small pieces, rolling each into a thin round about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

Put a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the middle of each dough round. Form the momo in a pleated half moon shape, using one hand to pleat or pinch and the other to both hold the momo and keep the filling from oozing out. Arrange on a steamer coated with vegetable oil spray and steam, covered l0-15 minutes. Serve with a dipping sauce. Such as Soy sauce mixed with a little rice vinegar and sugar or chilli paste.
