make ball of each slice
take each dough ball and on a lightly dusted board, roll each dough ball into a thin circle of about 2-3 inch diameter.
try to get the edges to be thin and the center to be thick.
place 1 or 2 tsp of vegetable stuffing in the center.
Fold it like half moon and join its edges together.
prepare all momos this way .

in a greased steamer pan , place the momos keeping space between them so that they don't touch each other.
don't overdo the steaming, as the dough becomes dense and dry.
