| CORIANDER DUMPLINGS (TO SERVE WITH LEMON CHICKEN SOUP) INGREDIENTS: 175g (6oz) plain flour 2 level teaspoons baking powder ½ level teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon chopped coriander finely grated rind of 1 lemon ¼ level teaspoon salt fresh ground black pepper 1 tablespoon lemon juice 30g (1oz) butter (melted) 6 tablespoons (90ml) milk Sift all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix in the seasoning and herbs and spices. Make a well in the centre and add the liquid. Combine all the ingredients with a round-bladed knife to form a fairly soft dough. Roll the dough out into walnut-sized balls (this is easiest done with wet, cool hands). Add these to the simmering soup ~ not boiling ~ cover and cook for about 10 minutes ~ or until the dumplings are light and fluffy. When serving with the lemon chicken soup, garnish with sprigs of fresh coriander. |
