Using 1 tablespoon to make each, shape into 16 dumplings. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add coriander, cumin and mustard seeds; cover and cook until they start to pop, about 30 seconds. Stir in curry powder and ginger, then add tomatoes and their juice and tomato sauce; stir to combine. Stir in the remaining 3 1/2 cups greens and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer. Nestle the dumplings into the sauce, cover and cook, turning the dumplings over and basting with the sauce occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes. Tips Tip: Chickpea flour adds nuttiness and bumps up the nutrition of these dumplings: they boast 2 grams more fiber per serving than dumplings made with all-purpose flour. Look for it with the other specialty flours at well-stocked supermarkets or natural-foods stores.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
