Rose momos recipe is a dumpling with chicken based stuffing, shaped to look like a rose, ie with dough petals. This can be a perfect valentine's day surprise for your love.Those interested in food art would love this recipe too. There are three layers of dough cover(wrapper) in each mo:mo for it to look like a rose. So making very thin wrappers is useful. You can make these mo:mo roses just by themselves or with the other mo:mos to enhance the look of the mo:mo plate. Especially when you are making for especial guests. These are also best if you are cooking for your someone especial, it would be a good surprise.,, SOME NOTES: 1) The key to make the best rose dough petals is a bit tough dough rolled into a very thin wrapper. But don't be tempted to make the dough too hard (you might end in hard petals) 2) Here I have used three sizes of circles to give the exact rose look. You can even use circles of same size if you are not a perfectionist. It turns out almost equally well. 3) As there are three layers of dough you have to steam the momos for a slightly longer time than the regular mo:mos. 4) I don't prefer adding any salt in the dough, as the momo stuffings is salty plus we are going to dip in salty mo:mo sauce. INGREDIENTS: for the dough: 1)all purpose flour 250 gm, 2)oil 1 tsp, 3) water 125 ml. for the stuffing: 1)mustard oil 1 tbsp (if not available you can use any cooking oil), 2)butter 1 tsp, 3)ginger garlic paste 2 tsp, 4)coriander(dhaniya) powder 1/2 tsp, 5)cumin(jeera) powder 1/2 tsp, 6)mo:mo masala/ meat masala 1 tsp, 7)turmeric powder 1/4 tsp, 9)chicken mince (keema) 250 gm, 10)onion (very finely chopped) 80 gm, 11) fenugreed (methi) leaves (very finley chopped) 3/4 cup, 12) salt 3/4 tsp
