Steam the Momos
Pan-Fry for a Crispy Bottom
Serve Hot
Replace the chicken mince with an equal amount of crumbled paneer, mashed tofu, or a mixture of finely chopped vegetables like cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
Increase the amount of green chillies or add 1/2 teaspoon of red chilli flakes to the chicken filling for an extra kick.
For a version with less oil, steam the momos as directed. Then, lightly brush them with oil and air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
For a healthier alternative, substitute half or all of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour (atta). The texture will be slightly denser.
Chicken is a high-quality lean protein, essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
The wrappers, made from flour, are a source of carbohydrates that provide a quick burst of energy to fuel your body and brain.
Ingredients like ginger and garlic not only enhance the flavor but are also known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
A serving of 5 Chicken Fried Momos contains approximately 350-400 calories, depending on the size and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
While they are a delicious source of protein from the chicken, they are made with refined flour and are pan-fried, making them an indulgent treat. For a healthier option, you can enjoy them steamed instead of fried.
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour (atta) or a 50/50 blend with all-purpose flour. The wrappers will be slightly denser and have a nuttier flavor, but it's a great way to add more fiber.
Store leftover fried momos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a pan or an air fryer to regain some of their crispiness. Microwaving will make them soft.
Yes. You can shape the momos and arrange them on a floured tray without touching. Freeze them for an hour until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be stored for up to a month. Steam directly from frozen, adding 4-5 extra minutes to the steaming time, then pan-fry as usual.
The classic pairing is a spicy tomato-sesame chutney. However, they also taste great with schezwan sauce, chili garlic sauce, or a simple dip made with soy sauce, vinegar, and chopped chillies.
