In the Instagram reel by @karanverm_a, the vlogger takes us through his recipe for "gym wale momos". He peels the cabbage and removes the head. He then places it in boiling water for some time. He then proceeds to chop onions, green chillies and mushrooms. He grates paneer and then combines it with the other ingredients. To this mixture, he adds salt, chaat masala, black salt and pepper. Once the stuffing is ready, he fills the cooked cabbage leaves with them - using the latter as a substitute for the usual flour-based dough covering. He folds the leaves to seal in the stuffing. He then pan-fries the 'momos' in ghee. Watch the full reel here:
