CURRY CHICKEN DUMPLINGS

(MOMO)

“My sister told me about an amazing momo truck in Brooklyn when I was staying with her, but unfortunately I couldn’t catch it when it was open. So instead, I looked up some ideas for momos and made a batch for her and her husband as a thank you for hosting me for several weeks. They turned out awesome! They are easy to do, with great flavor and texture. If you really know what’s up you will make a dope sauce to go with it, but I’m not supposed to eat tomato right now so I just made the momos…”
