It’s perfect for those who love a crunchy texture and bold flavors in their snacks or appetizers.

Ingredients:

For the chicken filling:

• Boneless chicken (finely minced or ground)
• Onions, finely chopped
• Spring onions, chopped
• Garlic cloves, finely minced
• Ginger, grated
• Green chilies, finely chopped (optional for extra heat)
• Soy sauce
• Black pepper
• Cumin powder
• Coriander powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (optional)

For the momo dough:

• All-purpose flour (maida)
• A pinch of salt
• Water, as needed to make the dough
• Oil (optional)

For the coating:

• Cornflour (cornstarch)
• Breadcrumbs
• Red chili powder
• Cumin powder
• Garam masala
• Salt to taste
• Water (to make a batter)
• Oil (for deep frying)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, soft dough. Cover and set aside for about 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the chicken filling: In a bowl, mix the minced chicken with chopped onions, spring onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies (if using), soy sauce, black pepper, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir everything well until the mixture is evenly combined.
3. Shape the momos: Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into thin circles. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle. Pinch the edges together to form pleated dumplings.
4. Steam the momos: Steam the momos for about 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through. Set them aside to cool.
5. Prepare the coating: In a bowl, combine cornflour, breadcrumbs, red chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Add water gradually to make a smooth batter that will coat the momos.
6. Fry the momos: Heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Dip the steamed momos into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated, then fry them until golden and crispy.
7. Serve: Once fried, remove the momos and drain any excess oil on a paper towel. Serve them hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, like sweet chili sauce or a tangy tamarind chutney.

Kurkure Chicken Momo is a crunchy and flavorful snack that combines the best of crispy textures with a savory chicken filling. It’s perfect for those who enjoy bold flavors and a satisfying crunch!
