Let's take a look at the ingredients we need for this recipe here:

 

·         I have taken 200 grams of boneless chicken thigh you can use chicken breast as well but chicken thigh is more succulent and tender that's why i'm using that you can see a little bit of chicken fat here this came along with the chicken thigh boneless it gives the chicken momo's a very good taste but if you do not want to use the chicken fat you can avoid that so this was about a chicken thigh boneless now let's move to the next ingredients

·         We'll start with the dough so take 2 cups of all-purpose flour on my diner bowl add some salt to taste give this a good mix

·         Now add a little water at a time and make a soft smooth dough we don't want the dough to be very stiff and very soft so just medium soft flow is what we need the dough is now ready cover this with a damp cloth and keep aside for 10 to 15 minutes

As stuffing is now ready now let's take a look at the door which we have prepared it's been 15 minutes we need to now again knead this for a few seconds so dust you worked off with some plain flour and knead the dough.

 

Now roll the dough like so now divide this dough into portions of equal size now we'll take one portion and roll it again dusty worked off with some plain flour and using a rolling pin roll the sheet moon roses dough to make a sheet the edges of the sheet should be thin compared to the center that's how you get good Momo's i've prepared one sheet similarly.

 

I'll make a few more now while I was rolling all the sheets I was covering them with damp cloth and you can see I dusted the sheets with some plain flour so that they don't stick to each other now take one sheet and place some stuffing on it like so now pinch the edge of this mobile sheet like this and start gathering fleets and move along the edges till you make all the beads.

And now we are going to steam these so this is the scheme setup which we are going to use in a bigger high or pressure cooker or a vessel take some water place a stand you can use a sieve apply some oil you can use that to steam the most I am going to use the bamboo steamer because I love it so lined it with parchment paper and oiled it as well now once the water starts boiling.

This designation is given to Pakistan on the positive reviews by the early birds who travel Pakistan with a great courage and expected to see the country with full of terrorists and Al-Qaeda operated mobs, but when they reach Pakistan the Pictures was just opposite to their thoughts, they said in their travel blogs, YouTube vlogs, magazines and adventure club reviews that what they see in Pakistan is totally opposite to what they think about Pakistan. The people are very friendly, they didn't see any terrorists on road waving his hand or saying Hi, What they see their was a beautiful culture, most scene-tic views, rich & tasty food and love from the native people. 

This is not only by the Conde Nast Traveler now, also In 2018, the British Backpacker Society had also ranked Pakistan the number one travel destination in the world. Before sometime in Pakistan it was compulsory for travelers to carry a N.O.C. (No Objection Certificate) to visit certain places But now this restriction is drops by the recent Government and they also ease the process of Visa for the travelers.
