1

Take 3 cups of all-purpose flour and sift it.

Add a pinch of salt to the flour and mix well.

Gradually add water to knead the dough until it is soft and pliable.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

5

Peel and chop the mango into small pieces.

6

Add 2 crushed cardamom pods and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mango pieces.

7

Mix in some dry fruits with the mango mixture.

8

Knead the rested dough and apply oil to it.

9

Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into balls.

10

Grease a rolling surface with oil and roll out each ball into a small circle.

11

Place 2 tablespoons of the mango filling in the center of each circle.

12

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

Shape the momo by folding the edges neatly and ensuring it is sealed well.

Prepare a steamer and add 1 glass of water to it, bringing it to a boil.

Once the water is boiling, lower the flame and steam the momos for 10 minutes.
