wheat dimsum recipe | healthy atta momos | vegetable and paneer steam dumplings |
Perhaps you have always had dimsums only in restaurants and avoided making them at home just because they sound complicated? But believe me, there are actually easy to make – follow the exact procedure explained here and try it once; I am sure you will master the act at one go and will soon be making the world’s best dimsums in your very own kitchen!
This is undoubtedly an innovative low calorie recipe – flour wrappers are filled with a healthy filling of broccoli and bean sprouts, and steamed to make an appetising snack. Bean sprout is one of my favourite ingredients, and I cannot think of a more stylish way to consume it. I have used plain flour as only whole wheat flour will not serve the purpose well.
For the dough- To make wheat dimsum recipe, combine the wheat flour, salt, oil and 1 cup of water in a deep bowl.
- Knead into a semi-soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp muslin cloth or lid and keep aside for 10 minutes.
- Divide and roll the dough into 22 equal portions. Keep aside.
For the stuffing- Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the garlic, ginger and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
- Add the onions, carrot, capsicum and cabbage, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
- Add the grated paneer, salt and pepper and soy sauce, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the spring onion greens and mix well. Keep aside.
How to proceed- Roll a portion of the dough into a 75 mm. (3”) diameter thin circle using a little plain flour for rolling.
- Place 1 tbsp of the prepared filling in the centre of the circle.
- Hold it into your palm and start making the pleats. Join the pleats in the centre and seal it well.
- Repeat steps 1 to 3 to make 21 more dimsums.
- Place 7 to 8 dimsums on a greased thali and steam them for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are cooked.
- Repeat step 5 to grease the thali and steam the remaning dimsums.
- Serve wheat dimsum hot with momos chutney.
