Instructions
Prepare the Dumpling Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the water while stirring until the mixture comes together into a dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Mix the ingredients until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
- Set the filling aside.
Form the Dumplings:
- Roll out the rested dough into a thin sheet (about 2 mm thick).
- Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough.
- Place a small spoonful of the lamb filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. You can crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Cook the Dumplings:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place the dumplings in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown on the bottom.
- Pour 100 ml of water into the skillet and cover with a lid.
- Steam the dumplings for about 8-10 minutes or until the dough is cooked and the lamb filling is fully cooked through.
Serve:
- Remove the dumplings from the skillet and serve them hot.
- You can serve them with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.Enjoy your homemade spiced lamb dumplings!
