* 1 pound plain flour
* 1¾ to 2⅓ cups water

== Directions ==
=== Filling ===
# Boil and mash the potatoes.
# Leave to cool.
# Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the onions for 5 minutes until soft.
# Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook for 5 minutes or until soft.
# Leave to cool.
# When all the vegetables are cooled, mix with the grated cheese, chopped coriander, salt, and pepper.
=== Dough ===
# Mix the flour with enough water to form a smooth dough.
# Roll out, but not too thinly.
# Cut into rounds with a 2" pastry cutter.
# Taking each round, press the edges with your thumb and first two fingers, working around the circle.
# On one side of the round, place a tablespoonful of the cooled vegetable mixture, then fold over and press the edges together, making sure they are well sealed.
# Alternatively, hold the round in one hand, and with your thumb and forefinger gather the edges into a pleat at the top and seal.
# Fill a small steamer with water, first boiling the rack so the dumplings do not stick.
# Bring the water to a boil.
# Place the momos on the steamer rack, spacing them well apart as they will expand and stick together if they are too close.
# Steam for 20 minutes, or until they are firm and glossy.
=== Soup ===
# Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the onion, and cook till soft.
# Add the tomatoes and chopped coriander and cook for 5 minutes.
# Dissolve the stock cube in the boiling water and add to the pan.
# Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
# Serve in small bowls as an accompaniment to the dumplings.
