Momos are prepared throughout much of East Asia and the subcontinent, so it's no surprise that they're found in Nepali cuisine. Here's a classic recipe for preparing momo wrappers.

Ingredients:

250g Plain flour
2 tbsp Cornflour
250ml Water warm

Method:

In a large bowl, add the flour and corn flour.

Gradually pour warm water into the bowl, a small amount at a time. Add just enough water to start forming a more solid dough structure. You don't want the dough to get too sticky, as the starch soaks up water, it will slowly become softer.

Mix and knead the dough for several minutes until it becomes soft and pliable.

Cover the dough with a moist cloth or cling film and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This will allow the dough to relax and become more elastic.

Sprinkle some flour over a flat surface, such as a tabletop or a large chopping board, to prevent sticking.

Take the rested dough out of the bowl and place it on a flat surface. Knead the dough ball for a couple of minutes.
Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball, then roll into a cylinder sausage shape.

Cut the sausage-shaped dough into small approximately 3cm pieces.

Roll each small piece into a ball, then flatten each one with your hands into a flat circular shape.

Use a rolling pin to roll out each flat circular dough piece into a thin wrapper. Dust each wrapper with flour to prevent sticking and cover with cling film or a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
