Mushroom Dumpling Recipe With Potatoes (Momos)

Step 1: To begin making the Mushroom Dumpling Recipe, we will first make the dough

Step 2: To make the dumpling (momo) dough;  add the flour into a large mixing bowl, add a little water at a time to the flour and knead well to make a smooth and yet firm dough

Step 3: We don't add the salt or oil to make the dumpling dough

Step 4: Cover the dough and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes, till we get the filling ready

Step 5: Next step is the make the filling for the dumplings

Step 6: Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium heat

Step 7: Add the mushrooms, sprinkle some salt and stir fry on high heat until the mushroom become tender

Step 8: Mushrooms release a lot of water, so stir-fry until all the moisture evaporates

Step 9: Once the mushrooms are cooked and dry, allow it to cool

Step 10: Once the mushrooms cool down, add it to a large bowl and combine it with the remaining filling ingredients including the oil

Step 11: Our final step is to make the Mushroom DumplingsDivide the dough into small lemon sized portions of an inch in diameter

Step 12: Dust the dough portions in flour and roll out into a circle

Step 13: Don’t roll too thick, as the filling will push itself out and tear when steamed

Step 14: Place a small spoon of filling in the center of the rolled circle

Step 15: Bring together the edges of the dough with a pinching and folding motion on one side and bring the other side to hold to the pinched side

Step 16: By doing this, the half moon shaped momos (dumplings) will have a frilled look

Step 17: Proceed the similar way with the remaining dough

Step 18: As you keep shaping the dumplings (momos) you need to keep them on a greased platter and cover with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out

Step 19: While you are shaping the dumplings (momos), keep a steamer with water boiling

Step 20: Grease the steamer pan with some oil to prevent the momos from sticking

Step 21: Place the shaped dumplings (momos) on the greased steamer pan

Step 22: So when you have one set of shaped dumplings, place them in the steamer and steam on high for 5 to 7 minutes until you see a glaze on the skin
