To begin making the Paneer Tikka Momo Recipe, first let’s make the dough.
In a mixing bowl, add maida, salt and add water slowly and knead to form a medium stiff dough. The dough should be non sticky, smooth and firm.
Keep the momo dough covered for 2 hours before making filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the paneer cubes along with fresh cream, tandoori masala, garam masala, cumin powder, red chilli powder, chaat masala, salt and lemon juice and mix well. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat a pan on medium-high flame, place the paneer tikka pieces and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
Turn off the flame, transfer the paneer tikka into a bowl and set aside.
Take a bamboo dim sum maker, or the regular idli steamer and fill it with water and pre heat it over a medium heat.
Divide the momo dough into equal portions, of lemon sized balls.
Take each ball and start rolling it out on a surface. Roll out the dough as thin so that the outer layer of the momo is thin and delicate.
In every flatten dough leaf, add 1 tablespoon of the Paneer Tikka filling and fold the edges to semi circles and start pleating to give a nice characteristic pleats.
Do the same with all the rest of the dough and filling. Keep the completed Paneer Tikka momos under a moist cloth to prevent drying.
