Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Sprinkle in curry powder and turmeric, stirring well. Cook for 1-2 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.
