Tips:

• Prepare the filling mixture just before rolling out the momo's. Else, it might start letting out moisture which in turn will make the momo soggy.
• Make sure to seal the edges well by pressing them with two fingers, otherwise it might open up while cooking.
• Idli steamer can also be used ,instead of a specialized momo steamer.
