• Let the stuffing cool down completely
• Make small balls of the dough and roll them into small circles
• The dough for outer covering should neither be very thick nor very thin 
• Brush few drops of water on the circles' folding edges which will act like a glue and the momos dont open up
• After brushing the circle's edge with water, add a tsp of the stuffing in the middle and fold it to your desired shape (there are various shapes to choose from the web)
• Once all the momos are ready to be steamed, take a steamer, add required amount of water and turn on the burner
• While the water is heated, grease the steamer plate with oil and place the stuffed and shaped momos 
• Steam them for 7 to 10 minutes depending upon the thickness or size of the momos
• When the momos appear shiny it means they are cooked so turn off the burner and serve hot with the Red Momos Chutney
