00:00Hello, you lovely people, this is me, the Bombay Chef Varun Inamdar.
00:02And today, I'm going to show you a very unique recipe of making Momos.
00:06I'm going to show you a local Nepalese dish called Jhol Momos or Curry Momos.
00:11Well, as interesting as this recipe is,
00:14I'm of course going to make it extra exciting with Thin Kitchen.
00:18A top-notch international kitchenware.
00:20As my cooking companion.
00:21Let's begin Jhol Momo.
00:31Let's begin with the prep for the Jhol.
00:33In this case, the Jhol Curry or the Jhol Achar as technically, traditionally they call it.
00:37We're going to broil a couple of ingredients before we get into the real Jhol.
00:41And to begin with, I'm going to use a Soya Bean.
00:44Now, this is not Soya Chunk or Soya Granule.
00:46These are Soya Beans.
00:47Let's begin.
00:55Let's move on to the next and that is Groundnut or Peanut.
01:01Once the skin of the Soya and the Peanuts kind of rupture,
01:04let's add in Dried Red Chillies.
01:06White Sesame Seeds.
01:08Moving on to Coriander Seeds.
01:11And finally, a very unique spice called Tepal.
01:15Tepal spice regionally is also known as Tirpal.
01:19Now, there's a difference between Trifala and Tripal.
01:22Trifala is made of Amla, Bibitaki and Haritaki,
01:25which are three different fruits that combine to form Trifala.
01:29In this case, this is the Tepal spice or the Tirpal,
01:32which is found in the Maharashtrian Goan cuisine,
01:34primarily, predominantly in India.
01:38Our dry ingredients are wonderfully fragrant.
01:41Time to transfer this in a bowl.
01:43Now, in this case, I'm going to use Joseph Joseph Nest Prep Bowl Set.
01:48It has an innovative design with 18x8 Stainless Steel,
01:51that doesn't leave any stain or odour.
01:53Also, another best part about this is,
01:56the bowls nest inside each other for space saving storage.
02:07Allow this to cool down completely.
02:09Let's next move on to our wet ingredients,
02:11which are Onions, Tomatoes, Green Chillies, Ginger and Garlic.
02:14And since these are different vegetables,
02:16this would be perfect.
02:18And this is my Xylus 4-in-1 Chopping Board.
02:21As you can see, it has four surfaces,
02:24which give flexibility without contaminating anything.
02:26It has an integrated juice channel,
02:28which retains liquids to keep your work surface clean and tidy.
02:34Let's begin with slicing Onions.
02:42Let's move on to Ginger.
02:44Green Chillies.
02:51And now, some Peeled Garlic.
02:54Everything in this case is roughly cut.
02:57Because all of this would get sautéed and ground into a fine paste.
03:09Our wet ingredients are cut, chopped and ready.
03:11Let's now move on to sautéing all of this,
03:13for which I'm using my Xylus Ultimate Pro Sauté Pan with lid and spout.
03:20One of the best things about this pan is that it is non-sticky,
03:23and it reduces the need for oil or butter, just as we need.
03:27It is one of the most reliable pans which has first-class heat distribution,
03:31which ensures best results when you're cooking.
03:34Let's turn the flame on.
03:36And add in a touch of Oil.
03:42Let's begin with Cumin Seeds in Hot Oil.
03:47Once the Cumin Seeds crackle, let's push in,
03:51Onions, Ginger, Green Chillies and Garlic.
04:06Let's add in the Tomatoes.
04:12Just a touch of Red Chilli Powder.
04:15And along with this, Hog Plum Powder.
04:17Now Hog Plum basically is a fruit, which is called Hog Plum of course,
04:22in different languages, it's known differently.
04:25Hog Plum is also known as Sorel or Ambadi or Red Bhindi,
04:29to make things just easier.
04:30Now this adds in that wonderful layer of course of tartiness to this recipe,
04:34and also brings in that earthiness.
04:36Let's stir this well.
04:38And in case you cannot lay your hands on Hog Plum,
04:40by all means use Raw Mango Powder, also known as Amchur.
04:44With this off goes the flame, and this gets transferred in our bowl.
04:53Allow these to cool down completely, and grind this into a fine paste.
04:57Our paste for the Jhol is done and ready, nice and smooth.
05:00Let's keep this aside, and quickly pan fry the Momos.
05:07A touch of regular Vegetable Oil.
05:11Let's place in the Momos of our choice.
05:14The whole idea is to steam these, as well as pan fry at the same time.
05:19Well I have used Momos which are ready made,
05:21you can by all means go all out and make Momos of your choice.
05:25Let's cover this, and allow this to cook on medium flame,
05:29for at least 6 to 7 minutes, let's wait and watch.
05:35It's been 6 minutes, let's quickly check on our Momos.
05:39These are beautifully steamed, and at the same time,
05:42if you check the bottom, they are wonderfully caramelised.
05:46Let's drop this in, and remove these for now.
05:54Our pan fried Momos are done and ready,
05:56let's draw these aside, and add in our curry paste.
05:59But before that, one very important thing,
06:01this pan has an aluminium crystal coating,
06:04which makes it tougher than two layered pans, isn't that interesting.
06:09Let's draw the paste in.
06:14Let's top this up with water.
06:19Finally, Salt.
06:21Let's whack the flame on a complete high,
06:23allow the Jhol Achar to cook for at least 7 to 8 minutes on high flame.
06:33With this, our Jhol Achar is also done and ready.
06:35Now, what you can do is, you can take these Momos,
06:39and plunge it into this and serve it,
06:41or you can keep this in a bowl, a deeper bowl, a deeper plate,
06:44and pour it literally like a soup.
06:46That's where the name comes in, Jhol Achar.
06:48With this, our Jhol Momo is done and ready.
06:51Serve this to your family and friends,
06:53and enjoy this exquisite taste of Nepalese tradition.
