To begin making the Steamed Vegetable Ragi Momos, first we will make the dough

To Make the dough 

1

Combine all the ingredients for the dough like the ragi flour, whole wheat flour and salt into a large wide bowl and knead well adding a little water at a time to make smooth dough.

2

Once the dough comes together, keep kneading for about 5 minutes to make it smooth and elastic and get the gluten from the wheat to bring the flour together with the millet.

3

The ragi momo dough should not be sticky. Seal the dough in a ziplock bag making sure to press out all air within the bag and let it rest for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.

4

The ragi momo dough will steam up the bag and become soft and easy to work with.

To make the ragi momo dumplings

1

Heat oil in a small wok, add in all the peppers and mushrooms and stir fry on high heat until the moisture from the mushrooms evaporates.

2

Add in the remaining vegetables and stir fry until just slightly tender. Stir in the salt and a dash of pepper. Turn off the heat and allow the filling to cool completely before you fill into the skin.

2

Divide the dough in small lemon size portions of an inch in diameter.Dust the ragi momo dough portions in flour and roll out into a circle.Don’t roll too thick, as the filling will push itself out and tear when steamed.

3
4

Place a small spoon of filling in the center of the rolled circle. Bring together the edges of the dough with a pinching and folding motion on one side and bring the other side to hold to the pinched side.

5

By doing this the half moon shaped momos will have a frilled look. Proceed the similar way with the remaining dough.

6

You can experiment with different shapes and sizes that you like. All it takes is some time and practice.

7

As you keep shaping the ragi momos you need to keep them on a greased platter and cover with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

8

While you are shaping the ragi momos, keep a steamer with water boiling. Grease the steamer pan with some oil to prevent the momos from sticking.

9

Place the shaped momos on the greased steamer pan. So when you have one set of shaped momos, place them in the steamer and steam on high for 5 to 7 minutes until you see a glaze on the skin.

For the Ragi Momos, you will not notice that much of a shine, but you will notice that the color has changed.
