Take 1 cup of flour and mix it with water and a little olive oil until it forms a dough.

Knead the dough until smooth and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Chop the onion, ginger, and green chili finely.

Mix the chopped onion, ginger, coriander, green chili, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Roll out the dough into small circles, about 3 inches in diameter.

Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Steam the momos for about 15 minutes until cooked through.

In a pot, heat some olive oil and sauté chopped tomatoes, cumin, and turmeric until fragrant.

Add water to the pot and bring it to a simmer to create a broth for the jhol.

Serve the steamed momos in bowls and ladle the broth over them.
