Tingmo or Ting Momo | Tibetan Steamed Bread | The Blue Poppy, Calcutta-style

Tingmo-a traditional Tibetan steamed bread-is soft, light, and airy. Goes perfectly with spicy pork or a datshi!
Tingmo is one of those breads that is extremely satisfying to get right. The distinguishing feature of this steamed dumpling is its layered appearance. Once properly proofed and steamed, all the layers of the bun seem to open up like a flower. In this recipe, we show you how to knead, roll, and shape the dough in order to get a perfect tingmo.

There is nothing to dislike. I follow this recipe and each time, without fail, get consistently light and fluffy tingmo. So thanks.

[@susannal8948]

Till I saw your video, I did not know Tingmo existed. Now I do not know how I could live without them. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe in a fashoin that even a total novice can follow

[@MrsMe-gl9gv]

I always failed in making tingmo until I saw your video and I tried it, it turned out great. Thanks so much. Ironic that making tingmo is a tibetan thing but I learnt it from Bengalis.

[@tenzinchoeyang851]

Finally I was able to make tingmo ... Thank you. I really like the clear instructions on this videos . This is one of the best cooking recipes I watch till now.

[@BongEats]

Thank you so very much

[@tenzinchoeyang851]

There is nothing to be improve in this videos.. I think it's by mistake some people click dislike it ... Plz keep on uploading such recipes videos..

[@cupoftea31]

Greetings from Sri Lanka. I love your recipes. I am studying about the regional differences of Indian cusine and your channel is very helpful. I also love the music in the background. What is it called?

[@BongEats]

Glad to be of help! The music has been composed for Bong Eats by Bemanan, a band from Calcutta. You will find the link in the description.

[@anjumara9393]

@bong eats: I did exactly how it's been shown... But my tingmo did not turn out to be spongy as shown... Why would that be? .

[@BongEats]

It could be because of several factors. 1. The yeast may not have been active. 2. Make sure you are using a weighing scale to measure ingredients (not cups and spoons) for greater accuracy, at least until you develop a feel for how the dough should be. 2. You may not have proofed the dough enough after shaping. Proofing time varies widely based on ambient temperature. You need to wait until the dough just barely springs back when poked. If it springs back quickly, it is underproofed. If it does not spring back it is overproofed.

[@anjumara9393]

@@BongEats I don't know.. Because a few days back I made the tigmo turned out to spongy but did not fluf up so much... And I used the same yeast. ... And I did weigh the ingredients in a weighing scale too....

[@BongEats]

​@@anjumara9393 If the yeast is active, then you may need to proof the bread longer in the last stage so that it increases in volume by at least 1.5 to 2 times. Poke the dough, if it springs back quickly it needs to proof more. If it does not spring back at all, then it is over proofed. If it springs back slowly but not completely then it is perfect and should be steamed immediately.

You can eat it with any spicy stir-fry, or gravy, or even a thick soup. Tastes really good with pork shapta.

One thing- Should the dough be soft or hard like luchi? I tried it exaclty with the same proportion. Dough was not soft like the one used to make rutis... Yet to try the end result though:) BTW, I am going to have it with ema dashi. I made the latter one today and it is so yummy. This is the first time i made something which was so different and yet simple to make. Since I was checking the seasoning,( khawar aage, ek baati sesh kore diyechi.

[@sharanyamukherjee4096]

Thanks a lot

[@sharanyamukherjee4096]

Hey, can it be done without yeast? Any alternative of yeast?

[@BongEats]

I'm afraid there are no alternatives to yeast in bread making. The yeast consumes the sugar in the starch and creates ethanol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide creates holes in the dough, which expands in the size when we heat it during baking. The yeast dies due to the heat and you are left with spongy bread.

[@BongEats]

You should be able to find yeast in any big moodi'r dokan. It's also available online.

[@yeapeachy4487]

While I was in Sikkim, I tasted "tingmo with aloo dum and radish salad" which seems to be a famous combo there. And since then I'm a fan, I did tried making it but my tingmo seems to be halfcooked inside everytime.

[@manjitrupbikram]

For those who came in late.Can we use atta instead of maida as it would be more healthy? Love your uploads.

[@tseringtashi2170]

manjitrupbikram yes u can use atta but I think it won’t be as soft as maida. Or may be u can try refine atta instead . No harm in trying :) and yes as u say it’s more healthy for sure
