Tips
1 - Squeeze out all the water from the cabbage as much as you can cause we are not cooking this so it will result watery after filling it if you don't remove excess water.
2 - If you don't have corn flour, you can even use maida for the gravy to make it thick.
3 - Its always better to eat these momos hot or else it will become hard and chewy.
4 - Be generous with chilies as this momo recipe is supposed to be spicy.
5 - If you don't eat more spicy, you can soak red chilies in warm water for 15 minutes for making chutney, or else you can directly grind them if you love eating spicy like me.
6 - You can even add onion greens in place of coriander leaves for garnishing. I did not have onion greens so I used coriander leaves , however, I like it.
7 - You can add more or less water in gravy , depends if you like more gravy or less.according to the amount of water, add cornflour to adjust the consistency. Add more water if you want more gravy and cornflour respectively.
8 - You can also balance the amount of chilies if you really eat less spicy or making it for kids.
9 - You can completely avoid adding food color,I have added it to give it restaurant style look.
