Chicken Dimsums

First of all I would like to thank Achu from tangymind  and Jagruti from  Jagruti's cooking odyssey  for giving me the award for best innovative dish for my recipe on tavsalli (cucumber-cake) in their event . Do visit their blogs for some great recipes.

Chinese cuisine though an International cuisine , has become so familiar to the Indian kitchen that we have regularly started eating as well as making it at home. Dishes like manchurian, fried rice etc are liked by all.

Nowadays there is a craze of momos and dimsums . They are very similar to our steamed dishes and are oil free and very nutritious. I am posting the recipe of Chicken dimsums today. It is a very healthy and yummy dish , simple to prepare and mildly spiced.
