1 Bunch Kale to line steamer
Dough: 1. Pour hot water over flour; mix with fork.
When cool enough to handle, finish mixing with your
hands until dough holds together. Wrap in plastic and
refrigerate until chilled through.
2. Work one piece of dough at a time; pinch off a
walnut-sized chunk, shape into a ball, knead several
times, then roll flat on a floured board. 3. Place
dough circle in the palm of your hand; in the middle
of the dough, place about 1 tbsp filling. Bring up
edges and seal at top with little gathers. Leave a
tiny hole at top for steam to escape during cooking.
4. Line steamer or bottom of skillet with kale leaves.
Top with a layer of dumplings and steam over boiling
water 15 to 20 minutes. If using a skillet use just
enough water to cushion the Mo-Mos; replenish water as
needed. Serve immediately, pairing Mo-Mos with soy
sauce, ginger, and vinegar. May also be served with
Achar.

Khote Filling: 1. Melt butter in skillet. Add onion
and garlic and cook over low heat until onion is limp.

yogurt, lime, and salt and cayenne to taste.
