#holi26 These rose-shaped momos are a stunning way to bring the colors of Holi to your table. By using natural vegetable juices to dye the dough, you can create a vibrant, festive look that is as wholesome as it is beautiful. These dumplings feature a tricolor petal effect—typically using beetroot for red, turmeric for yellow, and spinach for green—wrapped around a savory vegetable filling. These momos are a lighter alternative to traditional fried Holi snacks like Gujiya.
Prepare the Dough: Mix the ingredients for each colour separately to form smooth, firm doughs. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
Create the Petals: Roll out small, thin circles (about 2-3 inches wide) from the white, red, and yellow doughs.
Assemble the Rose: Overlap 3 or 4 circles in a straight row (e.g., Red-White-Yellow).
Place a thin line of filling across the centre of the row.
Fold the circles in half upward to cover the filling.
Starting from one end, roll the row tightly. The overlapping edges will bloom outward like rose petals.
Add Leaves: Shape small bits of green dough into triangles, score them with a toothpick to create “veins,” and attach them to the base of the rose.
Steam: Place in a greased steamer and steam for 10–12 minutes until the dough is translucent and cooked through.
Serve these with a Spicy Schezwan Chutney or a Creamy Peanut Dip to contrast the earthy vegetable.
