The healthy traditional steam cooking

As I said last week Steaming is one of the cooking methods that our ancestors have taught us. Since it does not add oil, this cooking method is considered a healthy one. The dishes prepared this way are delicious and healthy. If you include steamed foods in your daily diet, you will not get problems like cancer, heart disease, weight gain, digestive problems, and high blood cholesterol.

I would like to introduce you to another healthy steamed dish this week called "Vegetable Momos". Momos, currently a favorite among everyone, have secured a place on the global list of universally loved foods. Prepared using wheat or refined maida flour filled with ingredients such as meat or vegetables, this dish is steam-cooked and served in two varieties: vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

Nutrition facts of Carrots

Carrots are rish in vitamins and minerals. In addition to being rich in beta-carotene—the phytonutrient that gives carrots their distinctive color—these vegetables are abundant sources of essential nutrients such as Vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, and K, as well as dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, and phosphorus. Carrots contain zero fat and cholesterol.

Nutrition facts of Cabbage

Cabbage is one of the most nutritious vegetables available. It contains a high concentration of Vitamin C, which plays a significant role in supporting various bodily functions. Consequently, its rich Vitamin C content greatly aids in maintaining optimal physiological activity. Furthermore, it boosts the body's immune system. In addition, Vitamin C helps eliminate factors within the body that could potentially interfere with iron absorption. Moreover, Vitamin C also functions as a powerful antioxidant.

Cabbage is abundant in dietary fiber. Fiber is naturally highly beneficial for weight loss. Therefore, it serves as an excellent and healthy dietary choice for those looking to reduce their body weight.

Nutrition facts of Greenpeas

Incorporating green peas into your diet offers numerous benefits, including enhanced immunity, improved digestion, and weight loss. During the winter season, adding green peas to your meals not only boosts heart health but also helps correct iron deficiencies and protects against conditions such as anemia.

Green peas are rich in various nutrients, including calcium, fiber, protein, iron, and magnesium. Green peas are notably low in calories while possessing high nutritional value; thus, even if consumed in large quantities, they provide a low-calorie intake, promote a sense of satiety, and aid in weight loss.

Vegitable Momos with steam

STEP 1:

Take two carrots, some beans, and cabbage; finely chop them in to small pieces. Set aside two cups of cabbage, one cup of chopped carrots, and one cup of chopped beans, and 1 cup of greenpease.

Place all the chopped vegetables in a bowl, pour in water, wash them thoroughly, and set them aside

STEP 2:

Take an onion and chop it into small pieces. Similarly, take two chilies and chop them. Peel and clean the garlic, and likewise, clean the ginger.

STEP 3:

Take a pan, pour in some oil, and sauté mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Next, add the chopped onions and chilies, and sauté them thoroughly. Then, crush the cleaned garlic and ginger into small pieces, add them to the pan, and sauté well.

STEP 4:

Now, add the chopped vegetables—cabbage, carrots, beans, and peas—to the pan and sauté them thoroughly. While sautéing, chop the ginger and garlic, add them to the mixture, and mix well.

Next, cover the pan and cook it over a low flame for five minutes. Then, remove the lid and add the chopped coriander leaves.

STEP 5:

Take some wheat flour or refined flour in a bowl, add the necessary amount of salt and oil, and knead it thoroughly. Let the kneaded dough rest for five minutes to set; then, take it and roll it into a ball using your hands.

STEP 6:

Next, place it on a rolling board or stone and roll it out into a large, flat circle resembling a chapati. Then, using a round mold or vessel approximately four inches in diameter, cut out circular discs.

STEP 7:

For aroma and taste, take two cardamom pods, grind them in a mixer grinder, add the powder to the flour on the plate and mix. Prepare six or seven momos in this manner.

STEP 8:

Pour water into a vessel, place it over a heat source, and bring it to a rolling boil. Next, take a plate, grease it with oil, arrange the prepared momos on it, and cover the vessel to allow them to steam-cook.
