Chickpea Dumplings in Curried Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

  • Mix flour, 1/2 cup greens, 1/3 cup oil, onion, yogurt, serrano (or jalapeño) and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. 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.
