Whole Wheat Veg Dimsums

From the last few years dimsums are getting very popular in India. I find this dish absolutely delicious and very versatile. Steam, pan fry or boil them in a soup broth, either ways they taste super yum!

So this recipe is a vegetarian recipe, but you can easily replace veggies with mushrooms, tofu, paneer or minced chicken. Another thing I absolutely love about this dish is that it lets you be creative - you can shape these dimsums the way you want! And like all other dishes I make, I ensure some health angle to it - the ones I have made are whole wheat!

Ingredients

For the Dough

Wheat Flour - 1 cup

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp

Water

For the Filling

Garlic - 5-6 cloves, finely chopped

Onion - 1, finely chopped

Capsicum - 1, finely chopped

Carrot - 1, grated

Salt - As per taste

Black Pepper - As per taste

Soy Sauce - 1 tsp

Oil

Procedure

1. Mix wheat flour, salt and baking powder and knead to a stiff dough using water.

2. Heat oil and add garlic and onion.

3. Saute over medium heat and add chopped capsicum and grated carrot. Turn around over high heat till the mixture starts glistening in the oil.

4. Add salt, black pepper and soy sauce and mix well.

5. Take off the mixture off the heat once done. DO not overcook the vegetables.

6. Roll the dough thin and cut into small rounds  4"-5".

7. Take a round, wet the edges and place some filling in the center.

8. Now fold the edges side to side and twist to seal. Fill the other dimsums in the same manner.

9. Steam them for about 10 minutes.

Tada! The dimsums are done. Serve them hot with soy sauce or chilli sauce. I like mine with mayo sauce for some weird reason, but believe me it tastes great. Try it sometime :-)
