2
Boil the chicken and then shred well
Then take a pan or a pressure cooker and boil the chicken, with a pinch of salt, ginger and pepper. Once done, carefully shred the boiled chicken into fine pieces. Keep it aside.
3
Prepare the dough
Now, take a deep mixing bowl and add refined oil in it followed by all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well with enough water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Knead well and ensure that no lumps are formed.
4
Filling for Chicken Momos
Take a mixing bowl and add shredded chicken followed by chopped vegetables, mix well and combine everything together. Then, add soy sauce to the chicken mix and stir well.
5
Steaming and frying
Using a rolling pin, flatten the balls in a square shape and add the chicken and veggies stuffing at the center. Bring the edges close and secure them to make a momo. Repeat this step with the remaining balls. Transfer the prepared momos to a steamer and steam for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat some oil in a wok, and once the oil is hot enough, carefully slip these steamed momos in it and deep-fry them. Remove on a kitchen napkin to soak the extra oil.

Health Goals Suitability
Weight Loss
At 82.9 kcal per serving, this can fit into a weight loss diet with mindful portion control. Pair with a fiber-rich salad to improve satiety.
Diabetes
Moderate glycemic index (GI: 61). Adding a fiber-rich side dish can help moderate the blood sugar response.
Muscle Gain
Low protein content (2g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.
Heart Health
Low cholesterol (3.5mg) and low saturated fat (1.2g) make this heart-friendly. Anti-inflammatory ingredients benefit overall heart health. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.
PCOS
Moderate-to-high GI (61) can spike insulin — Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response. Consider replacing refined ingredients with whole grains or millets.
Thyroid
Contains soy-based ingredients which may interfere with thyroid medication absorption. However, cooking significantly reduces goitrogen activity. If you have hypothyroidism, ensure these are well-cooked and maintain a gap of 30-60 minutes from thyroid medication.
Portion Guidance
Weight Loss

General

Recipe Modifications
Boost protein
Increase the protein portion (chicken/fish/eggs) by 50g, or serve with a side of Greek yogurt.
Lower glycemic load
Replace refined flour (maida) with whole wheat atta, or swap white rice with brown rice or millets like jowar/bajra.
Make diabetes-friendly
Replace potato with cauliflower or bottle gourd. Add a squeeze of lemon — the acidity lowers glycemic response.
Meal prep friendly
Fried chicken momos stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.
Common Mistakes
Not measuring serving size
Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (165.9-248.8 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
Pairing with another high-GI food
Why it matters: Eating rice with another starchy dish doubles the glycemic load, causing sharp blood sugar spikes.
Fix: Choose one carb source per meal. Pair with roti instead of rice, or add a protein-rich side.
