Take a bowl to add maida (All purpose flour )
Add 1 teaspoon oil and salt
Mix all ingredient well
Add chilled water as needed

Stuffing for veg momos is ready
I am not frying the vegetables since it would be steamed. But you can fry them if you want
Knead the dough again for a minutes
Divide it into equal portion
Further, pinch a small ball and flatten
Now dust with some maida and start to roll using a rolling pin
Place approx 1 tablespoon filling in the center. Don't overstuff it, otherwise, it will be difficult to get a proper "potli" shape
Lift the edge from one side and start pleating ( fold the edge a little inside and little outside alternatively )
Join them in the center to seal it
Prepare momos from remaining dough in a similar way
Grease a steamer plate with oil to prevent them from sticking
Arrange veg momos on a plate in a way that there is some space around them to expand
Place momos plate in the steamer cover the lid
Steam them 7 to 8 minutes
Remove the lid and check them they look little translucent and shiny
If they don't feel sticky then it means they are cooked
Transfer them to a serving plate serve hot Veg Momos with Momos Chutney or Schezwan Sauce
You can choose any vegetable to make the stuffing, add button mushroom along with other veggies used in this recipe for a variation. I don't like capsicum or beans in my momos so I didn't use them in my recipe, but you can use them if you like :)
