Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 medium Carrot (finely grated)
• 1.5 cups Cabbage (finely shredded)
• 1 small Capsicum (finely chopped)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
• 1 teaspoon Oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the filling by mixing carrots, cabbage, capsicum, onion, garlic, and ginger in a medium bowl.

Step 4

Add gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the vegetables. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Divide the dough into small balls, approximately the size of a golf ball. Roll each ball into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface.

Step 6

Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the edges together and pleat them to seal the momo in a crescent or round shape.

Step 7

Grease a steamer tray lightly with oil to prevent the momos from sticking.

Step 8

Place the prepared momos on the tray, making sure they are not touching each other.

Step 9

Steam the momos over boiling water for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough becomes translucent and cooked through.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce or chutney.
