Directions

At Pungu’s Kitchen, we’ve always loved blending flavors and cultures to create something truly unique. This time, we’ve taken the warmth and comfort of Kerala Rasam, a quintessential South Indian dish, and paired it with the delicate, bite-sized delight of Chinese Momos.

The result? A fusion dish that’s bursting with flavors, perfect for those who love a little adventure in their meals!

Why This Fusion Works

Kerala Rasam’s tangy, spicy broth is the perfect companion to soft, flavorful Momos. While Momos bring in the rich, umami flavors from Chinese cuisine, the Rasam enhances the dish with its bold, aromatic spices and a touch of tanginess from tamarind. Together, they create a harmony of taste and texture that’s hard to resist!

Steps

1 Done	Prepare the Momo Dough 1. In a large mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, water, and salt. 2.Knead the mixture until a soft, smooth dough is formed. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2 Done	Prepare the Momo Filling 1. In a bowl, mix the ground chicken or vegetables with ginger-garlic paste, green chili, grated coconut, curry leaves, garam masala, and pepper powder. 2. Ensure the mixture is evenly spiced and mixed.
3 Done	Assemble the Momos 1. Divide the dough into small equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circular shape. 2. Place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of each dough circle. 3. Fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch them to seal the Momos. Shape into a crescent or traditional Momos style.
4 Done	Prepare the Kerala Rasam 1. In a pan, heat a little oil and add mustard seeds. Wait until they splutter. 2. Add curry leaves and crushed garlic, sauté for 30 seconds. 3. Add chopped tomatoes, chili powder, and cook until they break down into a paste-like consistency. 4. Add tamarind paste, cumin seeds, and black pepper powder. 5. Add water and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes. 6. Optionally add coconut milk for a creamy flavor and simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt as per taste.
5 Done	Steam the Momos 1. Place the assembled Momos in a steamer and steam them for 10-12 minutes until they are fully cooked. Alternatively, you can pan-fry them until golden brown if you prefer.
6 Done	Combine the Momos and Rasam 1. Once the Momos are ready, place them in a bowl. 2. Pour the warm, spiced Kerala Rasam over the steamed Momos. 3. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a drizzle of coconut milk (optional), and curry leaves.
7 Done	Serving Suggestion Serve Momos in Rasam as a warm soup or as an appetizer. Pair with a side of rice if you’re aiming for a more filling dish.
8 Done	Optional Add-ons Extra Heat: Add chili paste to the Rasam for spice lovers. Vegan Alternative: Replace meat with tofu or mushrooms in the Momos filling. Coconut Cream: Add a spoonful of coconut cream for added depth and balance. This fusion dish combines the comforting, spicy notes of Kerala Rasam with the soft, flavorful bite of Chinese Momos.
