Now, in a separate bowl to make a dough with flour. Put 1 tablespoon of oil into the flour before kneading.

Make small balls out of the dough and roll over it over with make a round approx 3inch diameter. (you can also make it bigger or small depending on your preference)

Place a spoon or 1 and half spoon of the mince mix on it and nicely fold it in a semi-circular shape.

Keep making the mince filled momos and keep then in you momo maker vessel to steam.

Steam it for 15-20 mins and your momo is ready.

Now, to make a red chilli sauce you need;

Red Chilli - 5-6 dry red chillies

Garlic cloves - 5-6

Tomato - 1 big

Soak the dry red chillies in water for about 15mins.

Take them out in a mixer jar, place the garlic cloves and the tomato and little salt to taste.

Blend them nicely and you momo sauce is ready.
