Description:


                 Chicken dumplings are really simple to make.It will be good if we serve it hot with chili/tomato sauce.Dumplings can be made with Chicken/Pork/vegetables.Dumplings are very famous in countries like China,Nepal,Tibet,Japan etc...I guess this dish was originated from Tibet...So let me go ahead with the recipe..

Ingredients:


1.Maida -3 small cups
2.Onion -1
3.Greenchilli-2 to 3
4.Ginger
5.Garlic
6.Spring onions(optional)
7.Chicken
8.Pepper to taste
9.Salt to taste.

Procedure:


                Take Maida in a bowl ,add salt and a bit of oil ..then make it into a dough.It shouldn't be very watery as well as not so hard.The dough should be similar to the dough you make for Chapatis.Once its done keep it aside.Chop Onion,Greenchilli,Ginger n Garlic into very small pieces.Cook the chicken and chop it into small pieces. Take a frying pan,put some oil. Add the onion first and a pinch of salt and keep stirring it till the rawness goes off,then put the chopped Ginger,Garlic,Pepper and Chillies.Finally once its done put the Chicken into it.Stir well and put some Soyasauce(optional but its good if you put).Also add salt as required.

                Now take the dough and make small discs,then roll out. It should be small in shape with a diameter of 10-12cm's.Then take this small dumplings and stuff the Chicken mixture into it and attach both the ends of the dumplings nicely..This dumplings can be made in different shapes. Now its time to cook it.Actually you will get the utensil to cook this dumplings in the market.So if you have the dumpling maker then put this dumplings inside it n cook it for some 10-15mnts and it will be done. But since I don't have the dumpling maker, so what I usually do is a very easy n alternate way for this.Take the pressure cooker and Idlli stand..Pour very little water to it and keep the dumplings one by one inside the stand.Close the cooker lid but don't keep the cooker whistle and steam it  for 15-20mnts on medium heat.Take out the Chicken dumplings and serve hot with Chilli/Tomato sauce.
