Instructions

  1. Step 1: For the dough: In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups flour and 1/2 cup water to form a smooth dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: For the filling: In a bowl, mix 1/2 lb ground beef, 2 medium peeled and grated potatoes, 1/2 cup finely diced onion, 1 tbsp minced ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp cumin until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (4 inches in diameter). Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle, fold in half, and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add dumplings in a single layer and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Prepare ginger chutney: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then cool.
  6. Step 6: Serve dumplings hot with a side of ginger chutney.
