Ingredients

  • Maida 200 grams
  • Salt as per taste
  • Oil as per taste
  • Blanched spinach 1 cup
  • Boiled waterchestnuts 1 cup
  • Ginger 1 teaspoons
  • Garlic cloves 5 units
  • Onion 1 units
  • Pepper as per taste
  • Soy sauce 1 tablespoons
  • Chilli vinegar 1 teaspoons

Instructions

  • Sieve the maida to get a fine flour and add some salt for taste. Mix in the water and knead a soft, pliable dough.
  • Grease the dough with oil and keep aside for 20 minutes.
  • In a wok, heat some oil (preferably sesame or peanut) and add finely chopped garlic. Don’t let them brown.
  • Julienne the ginger finely and add in.
  • Chop the onions very finely and add them to the wok.
  • Cook for 4-6 minutes on low heat until the onion is transparent.
  • Add finely chopped water chestnuts and finely chopped spinach and stir fry for 4 minutes.
  • Add salt, pepper, soy sauce and chilli vinegar to this.
  • Don’t overcook. Take off the heat and taste. The mixture should be relatively dry but moist.
  • Roll the dough into little circles and spoon a little stuffing into the center.
  • With a little water, seal the dumpling sideways. To test your skills, you can also try pleating them like seasoned chefs!
  • Steam the dumplings in a steamer for 10 minutes.
  • Take off the heat and serve with spicy garlic chutney.
