Method
-
1
Prepare the Chicken: Pat the boneless, skinless chicken thighs thoroughly dry. Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken into thin, bite-sized strips or cubes, ensuring uniform thickness for even cooking.
-
2
Season the Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with a generous pinch of salt, a dash of freshly ground black pepper, and 1-2 teaspoons of the Barbeque Flavour powder. Ensure every piece is coated, allowing the savory, smoky aroma to deeply infuse the meat.

3
Steam the Momos: Fill a steamer pot with water, ensuring it doesn't touch the base of the steamer basket. Bring the water to a vigorous rolling boil. Carefully arrange the Broccoli Momos in a single layer in the steamer basket, avoiding any overcrowding. Steam for 8-10 minutes, or until they become tender, slightly translucent, and release their delicate scent.
-
4
Sear the Chicken: While the momos are steaming, heat 1 tablespoon of Amul Ghee in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers and begins to smoke lightly. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until beautifully golden brown and cooked through, developing a rich, flavorful crust.
-
5
Introduce the Peas: Once the chicken is perfectly seared, add the vibrant Green Peas to the pan. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the peas are heated through, retaining their bright green color and a pleasant, tender-crisp texture. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or Barbeque Flavour if desired.

Assemble and Serve: Carefully transfer the hot, fluffy steamed Broccoli Momos to individual serving plates. Spoon the aromatic smoky chicken and pea medley generously alongside. Drizzle with a tiny bit more melted ghee if desired for an extra touch of richness. Serve immediately and savor the comforting, healthy flavors.
For perfectly tender momos, ensure not to overcrowd the steamer basket, allowing even steam circulation. When searing the chicken, a hot pan and single layer ensure a beautiful golden crust rather than stewing. Adjust the Barbeque Flavour to your preference for a subtle smoky hint or a more pronounced savory kick.
