Paneer Momos Recipe

With Crispy Pan-Steamed Blanket Wrappers

Paneer blanket momos are a unique variation of momos that combines the soft and juicy flavour of the paneer filling with a simple pan-steaming process. The technique is that, rather than folding the wrappers into typical dumplings, the chow is simply folded into the small dumpling wrapper like a blanket, and the steaming process creates a crispy crust on the momos as water evaporates from the pan. To prepare this paneer momos recipe, you will need ingredients such as grated paneer, soaked soya chunks, fresh spring onions, ginger, and soy sauce, which will give the momos their tasty flavour. You could use pre-made dumpling wrappers, which would make the cooking process easier and quicker. This enables you to have momos ready even on busy weekdays. Adding soya chunks to the filling would provide extra texture and protein while keeping it moist. The blanket momos are made in one pan with minimal added water, thus not requiring a standard steamer for cooking. However, after the water boils away, the bottom side of the momos gets its lovely golden crust for crunch. You can enjoy them hot from the pan with hot momo chutney or some chilli oil as a snack, appetiser, or light dinner that your family will want to repeat quite often.
