Step 1:

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Slowly add water to knead into a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2:

Heat butter or oil in a pan. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft. Add boiled corn kernels and cook for a minute or two. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano (if using). Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3:

Once the corn mixture has cooled, mix in the grated cheese. Stir well until the cheese melts and blends with the corn.

Step 4:

After the dough has rested, divide it into small equal-sized balls (about 12-15 balls). Roll each ball into a small circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.

Step 5:

Place a spoonful of the corn and cheese mixture in the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill.

Step 6:

Pinch the edges of the dough together and pleat them to seal the momo. You can make different shapes—either half-moon or round, depending on your preference.

Step 7:

Grease a steaming tray or use parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the momos in a steamer, leaving space between each. Steam for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is fully cooked and the momos are soft.

Step 8:

Serve the hot corn and cheese momos with a dipping sauce (chili sauce or soy sauce) or chutney.
