dumpling flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose flour is often cheaper.

Wash and chop the callaloo leaves and stems into small pieces.

Dice the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and scallions finely.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add butter until melted.

Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add the chopped callaloo and thyme, stirring until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Season with salt and black pepper, then cover and cook for 15-20 minutes.

In a bowl, combine dumpling flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading until a soft dough forms.

Shape the dough into small balls or discs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Drop the dumplings into the simmering soup and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until they float to the top.

Stir in lime juice just before serving for added freshness.

Serve hot, garnished with extra scallions if desired.
