Notes: 

• To make it little healthier you can use the whole wheat flour instead of plane flour. I already shared the recipe of Atta momos for that.
• While steaming keep an eye on the water,if it evaporates refill.
• For cooking the momos in pan heat oil in a pan and arrange the momos ion it. cook for 3-4 mins on low heat or until golden in colour. Then add ½ cup water in the pan and cover immediately. Cook for another 5-6 minutes or until the water is fully evaporated. flip and cook on other side if need to.
