Add flour to a bowl and mix in sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder until well incorporated.

Rub room temperature butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Combine milk and water, then gradually pour into the flour mixture until a dough forms.

Let the dough sit for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough and place a boiled egg in the center of each piece, pinching the sides to form a ball and shaping it into a slender form.

Heat about 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan and add sliced onions, mushrooms, basil, cilantro, parsley, and green onions, mixing together.

Add habanero peppers and tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 7 minutes on medium to low heat.

Stir in chicken bouillon and mix well.

Pour in 2 cups of coconut milk and stir, then add 2 cups of water and cover to bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add the shaped duff into the pot, ensuring enough room, and cover without peeking for 12 minutes.

After 12 minutes, remove the duff from the pot and serve with the flavorful broth.
