Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in curry powder and turmeric, stirring well. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add diced carrot and potato. Cook for about 15 minutes until tender.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually mix in enough water to form a soft dough.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into the simmering soup. Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Stir in fresh spinach and soy sauce, season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  9. Taste the soup, adjust seasoning, then ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro.

Notes

Ensure dumpling dough is not too runny for the best texture. Store soup and dumplings separately if freezing.
