Momos (Tibetan Steamed Dumplings) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    DOUGH
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup water
    MEAT FILLING
    1 lb extra lean ground beef
    1 onion, chopped
    1/2 1/2 lb spinach (chopped fine or shredded) or 1/2 lb cabbage (chopped fine or shredded)
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
    2 green onions, chopped (use all of it minus the roots)
    2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
    1 pinch salt
    Tsal
    1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    cilantro
    green onion
    garlic
Preparation
    Mix flour and the water; knead and form into a ball. Sometimes I like to add extra spices to the dough so it's not so bland.
    Let rest covered with a wet towel or plastic wrap for 30 minute.
    Combine the filling.
    Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
    Cut dough into 12 - 18 pieces and roll into small flat circles.
    Place a spoonful of filling on each dough circle, folding over and crimping to seal.
    Place momos in a steamer and steam on high for 30 minute.
    To make the Tsal, just combine the ingredients in the amount needed.
    I've never measured, just thrown the stuff together, so I have no exact measurements for all of it. For the tomatoes, I always Use Hunts Diced Tomatoes with Sweet Onions. (I'm lazy :D).
