Description

There are many Indian finger foods that are great for parties. One of my favorites is this simple recipe for Momo, little shrimp or chicken dumplings that have drifted down into the Darjeeling area of India from Nepal. They’re made easy for quick entertaining by using readily-available won ton wrappers.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Cooked Bay Shrimp
  • A Few Thai Basil Leaves (You Can Use Regular Basil)
  • 1 bulb Shallot, Very Finely Chopped
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne
  • ½ teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 1 pinch Cardamom
  • 1 package (12 Oz. Package) Won Ton Wrappers

Preparation

Place the fresh cooked small bay shrimp in a food processor and grind it to a rough paste. Mix in the remaining ingredients (except the won ton wrappers). Mix it all together well.

Note: the chicken momo mix is the same. Just use ground chicken meat. Grind it a bit more in a food processor so you have a rough paste.

Open the package of won ton or sue gow wrappers. Drop 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of each wrapper and then twist and pinch it closed at the top like a little purse.

Put a pot of water on to boil. Spray the levels of a bamboo steamer with non-stick spray and place the momo on them. Cover the bamboo steamer and place it on top of the pot of boiling water. Let the momo cook for about 10 or 12 minutes.

You are done. Serve them up with a nice chutney or dipping sauce.
