Whole Wheat Steamed Chicken Momos/Dumplings

It was around 10 yrs ago when I had first tasted momos, my brother had bought it for us and we at home wondered how this wonderful dish was prepared.With the exponential increase in workload I prefer to have lunch at the pantry but certain days when I go to the cafeteria I always see a big queue in front of the momos counter.I wanted to try out this dish but was skeptical about using whole wheat flour and was wondering if it would be as soft and tasty as the ones made from all purpose flour.It was Sunday evening and hubby dear was out to meet his friends and I had all the ingredients at hand,my little brat was busy running around the car trying to get his grandparents tired and I couldn't think of any better moment to try out this dish.To my surprise the dumplings came out so well that it tasted as good as the ones you get at the authentic Chinese restaurants, the brown colour was due to the whole wheat flour and the awesome mouthwatering taste overrides the not so professional pleats.Hubby dear and my parents enjoyed it thoroughly that I have constant request for preparing the next set at the earliest..
