I know I have been away from the blogsphere for a while now but definately not away from Cooking...Though I manage to click a few pics of my culinery attempts here and there I could never really pen down the receipe with my cute and naughty son wanting sit on me everytime I turned the desktop / laptop on..With his lovely face making all the best and cute expressions in the world to convince me into playing Rhymes or Party song from Race 2 I always give up and prefer to keep him happy and get loads of his kisses in return..I know working moms always miss their kids round the clock and we try all possible means not to disappoint them and Im no different...
Alright so here is why I tried to make a veggie version of Dumplings / Momos over a weekend...
Ever since we friends at work decided to boycott downing momos from the Momo counter at work due to them shrinking exponentially which finally turned to be something so close to being microscopic .I decided to prepare them more often at home and as a healthier version.With hubby dear being the biggest fan of my cooking for obvious reasons ;) it gives me all the more motivation to try out something new to please his weekend cravings...

This was a delightful evening snack and we thoroughly enjoyed it..as always I never feel complete without my parents tasting my preparations and I managed to take some of them to moms place the same evening..they loved it to bits.My bro being a non-veg lover was hoping the next time I replace panner with some minced meat :)
