  3. Add the chopped green chillies, chopped ginger, paneer, chopped fresh coriander leaves, salt to taste and black pepper powder to the squeezed vegetables and mix the stuffing well.
  4. Stir the vinegar, light soy sauce, green chilli sauce, red chilli sauce, sugar, chopped ginger, finely chopped tender coriander stems with roots, tomato ketchup and 1/4 cup of water together in a bowl for the sauce mixture and set it aside.
  5. Divide the dough into equal small balls, roll each one flat, add a spoonful of stuffing and close the edges by pleating one side and sticking it to the other to make a crescent shape.
  6. Heat oil for frying in a kadai and fry the momos until crispy and golden, then lift them onto an absorbent sheet.
