Ingredients

Servings
  • 250 grams (9 ounces, 1 2/3 cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper or to taste
  • 250 milliliters (9 fluid ounces, 1 cup) lukewarm water
  • 1 liter (35 fluid ounces, 4 cups) vegetable oil for deep-frying

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Carefully add the water, stirring continuously, until the mixture becomes a thick paste.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  3. The next morning, heat the oil in a deep heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat to 190˚C (375˚F), or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil turns brown in 10 seconds.
  4. When the oil is ready, stir the dough with a large metal spoon to deflate it. Take about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the dough (about 30 grams/1 ounce), shape it into a small ball and gently place it in the hot oil, being careful as the oil will spit. Cook a maximum of six dumplings at a time (so the oil doesn't cool down) for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  5. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel while cooking the remaining dumplings.
  6. Serve warm.
