Recipe: Ragi & Whole Wheat Paneer Momos

Taking advantage of the versatility of millets, we have developed this momo recipe using ragi (finger millet). Since millet is gluten free, it is difficult to roll it. So we have used wheat flour along with ragi flour for making momos. For stuffing, we have used paneer as the main ingredient but you can use a stuffing of your choice. In this recipe it is very important to knead a soft dough of wheat and ragi so that you can roll and shape it easily. We hope you will like this millet twist to your favourite street food.
