Tips to remember while making momo at home:
- Prepare a light but firm maida coating to enjoy the flavours of the momo to the fullest.
- Never overstuff momo with chicken or veggie filling. This will break the momo easily.
- Always boil water in the steaming vessel before placing the momos.
- Grease the steamer surface in order to prevent it from sticking to the vessel.
How to assemble moburg:
- Now that you have the momos ready, deep fry them in refined oil until golden brown in colour.
- Cut the burger bun from the centre and spread green chutney and chilli chutney on it.
- Place two momos on it.
- Drizzle some mayonnaise and schezwan sauce.
- Add a slice of cheese and close with the other half of the bun.
And you have the delicious moburg ready to be relished. Have it hot or the burger will turn soggy and tasteless.
Try this dish at home and let us know how you liked it. Happy weekend and happy indulgence, everyone!
