Ingredients

  • 450 g g Ground lamb
  • 3/4 cup cup Coconut flour
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 cup cup Finely chopped cabbage
  • 1/4 cup cup Onion, finely minced
  • 3 cloves cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp tbsp Ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp tsp Garam masala
  • 1 tsp tsp Ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp tsp Cayenne pepper(optional)
  • 1 tsp tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup cup Plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped(optional)
  • 2 tbsp tbsp Ghee or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the wrapper dough: whisk the eggs, then stir in coconut flour and 1/2 tsp salt until a soft dough forms. Rest 10 minutes, then divide into 16 balls and roll each between parchment into 3-inch circles (about 40 minutes including filling prep).

  2. 2

    Make the filling: sauté onion, garlic, and ginger in 1 tbsp ghee for 3 minutes. Add ground lamb, cabbage, cumin, garam masala, coriander, cayenne, and remaining salt; cook 8 minutes until lamb is browned and cabbage is tender. Cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Assemble: place a spoonful of filling on each wrapper circle, fold into half-moons, and pinch edges to seal tightly.

  4. 4

    Pan-fry: heat remaining ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Fry momos 3-4 minutes per side until wrappers are golden and crisp, about 10 minutes total, working in batches.

  5. 5

    Make the dip: stir together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Serve momos hot with the yogurt dip.
