For the Chilli Paneer filling 

1

To begin making the filling for the Chilli Paneer Momos, we will first make the base sauce by mixing the soya sauce, ketchup, chilli sauce and salt and mix well. 

2

Heat oil in a wok  on high heat; add garlic, ginger, green chillies, spring onions bulbs and stir fry for about 30 seconds. Add in the capsicum on medium heat.

Once the capsicum is tender, stir in the sauce mixture to the wok and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

Divide the momo dough into equal portions, of lemon sized balls.
