Vegetable Momos

Ingredients:
Filling:
Chopped cabbage- 2 cups
Carrot - 1
Red pepper - 1/2
Green onions - 2
Ginger - 1 inch
Garlic cloves: 2
Salt - to taste
Black pepper - a pinch
Soy sauce - 1 tbsp
Hot sauce - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbp

Wrapper:
All Purpose Flour - 1 Cup
Salt - a big pinch
Oil - 2 tbsp

In a pan, bring a cup of water to boil.
Add the veggies and close the lid.
Let them cook till the raw smell disappears, but still remain crunchy.

In a pan, heat the oil and add grated ginger and garlic.
Add the black pepper powder and the sauces and the vegetables and check for seasoning.
Add more salt if needed.
Saute for a couple minutes and turn off the flame.

 Knead the flour with salt, oil and water until it's soft. Make small round 1 inch balls and flatten into thin disks. Add the filling and keep pinching the ends until the entire momo is closed. (Refer to picture for shape). Make all the momos.
Heat the steamer or a pressure cooker with water and add the momos in a single layer. Steam for about 13 minutes.

Remove and serve hot with Garlic Chili sauce.

Flan- Custard

I used ready mix Custard powder for this recipe and it saves a bunch of time. I have never made custard from scratch, so I cannot vouch if the store bought custard powder tastes as good as the one made from scratch. However, this is a really tasty version too.

To make it more fancy, I added some caramel on top before I steamed the custard.

This is very similar to a Flan, the only difference is, the Caramel on top is not as thick and we steam this instead of baking it.

Custard Powder - 1 pack

Caramel:
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Water - 3 tbsp

Mix the sugar with water in a thick bottom pan and heat till golden brown. Don't stir.
Pour the Caramel into a dish that fits into the pressure cooker.

Prepare the custard mix according to instructions on the box. Pour on top of the caramel.

Place in the steamer/cooker and steam for about 20 to 25 min. Open and check if it's set.
Remove and cool and invert onto a serving plate.

I love this when it's chilled.
