If there was one food item that has taken our street food obsession to the next level, it has to be momos. Steaming hot and delicious momos are no more a delicacy saved for restaurant visits only. Every street, every nook and cranny of a city is blessed with a 'momo waale bhaiya' who serves the most delicious momos with the exact ratio of chili chutney to mayonnaise that is the key to every foodie's heart. From charred and smoky tandoori momos to the hot and fiery jhol momos to the even, somewhat bizarre, sweet chocolate momos, the dish has taken over the culinary scene of the country and there is no doubt about that.

The dough for the whole wheat chicken momos is made with atta. Mix atta, a pinch of salt some oil, and water to make a slightly hard dough. Keep this aside. Make the filling by mixing equal parts of onion and minced meat along with other ingredients and letting it sit for some while. You may slightly sauté the meat for a crunchy texture of the filling or use it as is. Roll out tiny balls of dough the size of a small puri. Place a spoonful of filling and gather all ends to pinch them together to make a ball, or use a mold to shape the dumplings. Grease steaming plate and steam these momos for 20-25 minutes.
