EGG CHICKEN MOMOS

Momos are a tibetan dish.I used to have it in my college days.I liked them a lot.Everyone at home liked it as there was no oil in it.A filling snack for all and a guilt free one.I usually prepare this with the non veg filling mostly but the veg part is also very tasty.

TIPS
* Usually the filling is just made by pulsing all the ingredients(esp vegetables ),mixed with sauces and is not cooked.Its directly added in the pouch and is steamed.But somehow am not comfortable that way so saute the other ingredients too.
*Line the plate in the pressure cooker also with some amount of oil.
*You can also prepare veg momos by using cabbage as filling.That also tastes very good.
*You can even combine the cabbage,carrots and egg as filling too.
