On a chilly morning of mid January, no one can resist having a plateful of steaming Momos and red hot chili chutney, I bet!

Steamed Chicken MOMO Recipe:

You need:

All purpose flour: 1 cup
Salt: ½ tsp
Oil: 1 tsp
Water: to make dough
Chicken: 200 gm, minced
Spring Onion: 1 medium sized bowlful shredded
Ginger: 1 inch, crushed
Green Chilli: 2-3, shredded
Soya Sauce: 1 tbsp

How To:
Put soya sauce, crushed ginger, shredded spring onion and green chillies to the minced chicken and mix them well. Keep aside for a while.
Make semi soft dough with the flour, salt, oil and water.
Make small (1 ½ inch) balls from the dough and roll each one as thin as possible.
Now make small folds on the edges of the rounds. After folding half of the round, put one spoonful of chicken mixture and close the other part on the folding. Press well and keep aside.
Boil water in the steamer. Grease the steaming plates and the momos and put the momos on the plate. Steam covered for about 10 minutes. Serve hot with red chili chutney!

Alternatively give the rounds potli shape, put the chicken stuffing inside and press the mouth and tie a knot with the green leafy string of the spring onion and steam them for 10 minutes. Your chicken MOMOs are ready!

Here is the detailed yet easy recipe of the White Bread...yeah, homemade! Sound wonderful, right? Below is the how-to-do for you, guys!

Homemade Plain White Bread Loaf Recipe:

You need:

All purpose Flour (Maida): 3 cups
Salt: 1 ½ tsp
Dry Instant Yeast: 2 tsp
Sugar: 2 tsp
Oil: 1 tbsp
Water (lukewarm): 1 1/6 cups
How To:
Sieve the flour and the salt together, mix well.
Make a well in the middle of the flour and put the sugar and the dry instant yeast, mix. Add a little lukewarm water to the sugar and yeast, wait for just 7-10 seconds.
Now start kneading the flour with everything together except for the oil. Add water little by little and keep kneading for about 12-15 minutes. Just add oil on your palms to get rid of the stickiness of the dough (don’t be afraid, the final product would compensate for the mess created in this phase!).
Kneading for about 14-15 minutes would leave a glossy shine on the dough and you have to make a smooth round mass of this dough after kneading. Place the dough in a large greased bowl and cover with kitchen towel or cling film or anything as to avoid the moisture from evaporating from the dough.
Keep the dough inside a lighted microwave oven or at a warm place for 90 minutes to let the dough rise double in size.
After 90 minutes, punch the dough lightly to let the air get out and to get the dough back in previous shape. Knead it for another five to seven minutes. Make a smooth round ball out of the dough and place it on the previous greased bowl. Keep the bowl again inside a warm place and wait for another 45 minutes or so for the second time.
After 45 minutes o so, the dough must have become again double in size (Sometimes, a little more!). Now get the dough on the oil-greased baking tray and get it the shape you desire. (This recipe would provide for two medium or one large sized loaf).
Preheat the oven at 190 degree Celsius. Brush the top of the dough with oil. Bake the dough for 40 minutes or until the upper crust of the loaf get golden brown.
Your purely homemade white bread loaf is ready to be gorged on! Heaven!
