Homemade Momo with Spicy Dipping Sauce

1In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat (1 lb), chopped onion (1 small), minced garlic (2 cloves), grated ginger (1 teaspoon), chopped cilantro (½ cup), cumin powder (½ teaspoon), coriander powder (½ teaspoon), salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

2Place a small spoonful of the meat mixture onto a momo wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half, pleating the edges to seal the momo.

3Repeat the process with the remaining meat mixture and wrappers.

4To steam the momo, place them in a steamer basket lined with cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Steam for 15-20 minutes until the momo are cooked through.
