Fun, quick afternoon school snack for the kids! My daughter loves to munch on these while doing her school work. They are super healthy to make, a great alternative to all the junk food out there. My daughter, who has diabetes, use to eat a lot of sugar, but after her diagnosis, she had to sadly stop. These quick snacks allow her to keep snacking, but stay healthy at the same time!

Take the all-purpose flour, salt, oil in a bowl and mix them well with a spoon.
Add water in parts and knead to a firm dough. Cover the dough and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Finely chop all the vegetables
In a thick bottomed pan heat oil. Add finely chopped garlic. Sauté for 2 to 3 seconds on medium-low heat.
Add onions and sauté for 10 to 15 seconds on medium-low heat. Then add all the finely chopped vegetables.
Increase the flame and stir fry the vegetables on a medium to high heat.
Sauté or stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Then add soy sauce, salt and pepper. Continue to stir fry on a medium to high flame for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Check the taste and add more salt, pepper or soy sauce, if required. Set the stuffing aside until it cools completely.
Divide the dough in two parts. Make a 7 to 8 inches log from each part. Cut the log into equal slices. Make ball of each slice and keep them covered with a moist napkin.
Take each dough ball and on a lightly dusted board, roll each dough ball into a thin circle of about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Try to get the edges to be thin and the center to be thick.
Place 2 or 3 teaspoons of vegetable stuffing in the center. Lift one side of the edge and start pleating.
Start folding and forming the pleats one by one. Towards the end, join the pleats in the center. Prepare all momos this way and keep them covered under a moist napkin. Till you are ready to steam them.
Heat 1.5 to 2 cups water in a steamer or in an electric cooker or in a pressure cooker. Let the water come to a boil. In a greased steamer pan or in idli moulds, place the momos keeping some space between them so that they don't touch each other.
Steam them for 5 to 6 minutes. When you touch the momo then dough should not feel sticky to you. This means they are done and the momos will have a transparent look. Take them out, and let them cool for a few minutes.
