Dumplings

These Kosher Indian dumplings are a delightful fusion of flavors, featuring a spiced potato filling wrapped in a soft, steamed dough. Perfect for a midnight snack, they are both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Water - 75 ml
• Potatoes - 200 grams
• Peas - 50 grams (frozen or fresh)
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green chili - 1 small, finely chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Oil - 1 tablespoon (for tempering)

Steps

1. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool.
2. In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes. Add the peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, chopped green chili, salt, and cilantro. Mix well to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead until you form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into equal portions (about 6-8 pieces). Roll each piece into a small ball and flatten it to form a small disc.
5. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each disc. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a dumpling.
6. Prepare a steamer by boiling water. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Steam for about 10-12 minutes.
7. In a small pan, heat the oil and add a few cumin seeds. Once they splutter, drizzle the tempered oil over the steamed dumplings before serving.
