Filling:
- Heat some oil in a pan. Add finely chopped ginger and garlic. Sauté for a minute. They need not turn brown.
- Add finely chopped green chilly and onions. Cook until onions turn pink (not brown).
- Now add finely chopped carrots, cabbage and other vegetables of your choice. Add spring onions and cook for 5-7 minutes. Retain the crunch of the veggies.
- Prepare a corn slurry by adding a spoon of corn starch to water. This is to prevent veggies from sweating out when cooled down. Additional water can make the filling runny and break the shape of the momos. Corn slurry helps keeps the filling dry.
- Cook the slurry for a minute. Add a cube of butter to enhance the flavor. Butter is completely optional.
- Cool the mixture.

Serve hot! Enjoy!
