Ingredients
  

For the Curry Broth:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons curry powder (mild or spicy, to taste)

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (400ml) coconut milk

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Juice of 1 lime

For the Dumplings:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/3 cup boiling water

1 cup finely chopped vegetables (carrots, bok choy, bell peppers)

1/2 cup cooked and shredded chicken/tofu (optional)

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Curry Broth:

    - Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

      - Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

        - Add the curry powder and turmeric, stirring well to combine. Toast the spices for 1-2 minutes to enhance their flavors.

          - Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring until mixed. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes.

            Make the Dumpling Dough:

              - In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly add the boiling water while stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.

                - Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.

                  Prepare the Filling:

                    - In another bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, shredded chicken or tofu (if using), soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

                      Form the Dumplings:

                        - Divide the dough into small pieces (about 1 tablespoon each). Roll each piece into a circle about 3 inches in diameter.

                          - Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the circle in half and pinch the edges to seal, forming a dumpling. Ensure they are sealed well to prevent leaks.

                            Cook the Dumplings:

                              - Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering curry broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and are cooked through.

                                Serve:

                                  - Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the lime juice to add brightness to the soup. Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a generous amount of dumplings.

                                    - Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
