3. Place the stuffing in the centre.

4. Lift one side of the edge and start pleating slowly. Once the pleating is complete, join all the pleats in the center.

5. Prepare all the momos in the same way.

Steaming the momos:

1. Grease a idli plate or steamer with oil.

2. Place the momos in the greased plate or steamer.

3. Steam them for 8 to 10 minutes.

Note:

Do not over-steam the momos. If you over-steam, the outer layer will become very hard.
