Solution

Step 1: Install packages via npm.

npm install @angular/material-moment-adapter@11
npm install moment

Step 2: Import material-theme to style.css (global stylesheet)

style.css

@import '~@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/indigo-pink.css';

Step 3: Define your date format.

material.module.ts

import {
  MAT_DATE_FORMATS,
  DateAdapter,
  MAT_DATE_LOCALE
} from '@angular/material/core';
import { MomentDateAdapter } from '@angular/material-moment-adapter';

export const MY_FORMATS = {
  parse: {
    dateInput: 'DD/MM/YYYY'
  },
  display: {
    dateInput: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
    monthYearLabel: 'MMM YYYY',
    dateA11yLabel: 'LL',
    monthYearA11yLabel: 'MMMM YYYY'
  }
};

@NgModule({
  ...
  providers: [
    {
      provide: DateAdapter,
      useClass: MomentDateAdapter,
      deps: [MAT_DATE_LOCALE]
    },
    { provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: MY_FORMATS }
  ]
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 4: Add mat-datepicker in HTML

<input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker"> 
<mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
<mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker>
