Knead the dough until elastic and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling by sautéing garlic and onion in sesame oil until fragrant.

Add vegetables, tofu, chili powder, and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in lime juice and coriander leaves, then remove from heat.

Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each into a circle.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a parcel and seal the edges.

Wrap each parcel in banana leaves or parchment paper.

Steam the parcels for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Alternatively, fry the parcels in oil until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
