Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut flour
• 1.5 cups Tapioca flour
• 0.75 cup Hot water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cooking oil (for greasing steamer)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, tapioca flour, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add hot water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms. Knead it gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, prepare the filling. Combine ground chicken, chopped onion, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, cilantro, and ground black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Roll each ball into a thin, circular sheet using a rolling pin, about 3-4 inches wide.

Step 5

Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each rolled dough circle.

Step 6

Carefully fold the edges of the dough to seal the filling inside. Pinch and pleat the edges to form traditional momo shapes or a half-moon shape.

Step 7

Grease a steamer basket lightly with cooking oil to prevent the momos from sticking.

Step 8

Arrange the momos in the steamer basket, leaving space between each to avoid sticking.

Step 9

Steam the momos over boiling water for 18-20 minutes or until the dough turns translucent and the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce or chutney.
