Serves: 2, Difficulty: Easy
Preparation Time: 20 minutes, Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 200 grams of Ground Mutton
- 200 grams of Plain Flour
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of Salt
- 1 teaspoon of Pepper
- 1 teaspoon of Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon of Coriander, ground
- 100 ml of Water
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground mutton, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and ground coriander. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the dough by mixing the plain flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water, kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls and roll each into a thin circle.
- Place a small spoonful of the mutton mixture into the center of each dough circle, fold over, and pinch the edges to seal the dumpling.
- In a steamer, bring water to a boil and place the dumplings in, ensuring they are not touching each other. Steam for 20-25 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Serve the dumplings hot, with a side of soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, add a touch of finely chopped fresh coriander to the filling.
- Ensure the edges of the dumplings are well-sealed to prevent the filling from escaping during steaming.
