Istruzioni

To make the filling mix all of the ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Place 1 tsp of filling in the centre of a dumpling wrapper and line the edges with water. Place the wrapper flat onto a working surface and working with both sets of index fingers and thumbs, pleat and pinch the edge of the wrapper to form what resembles a money bag. Pinch the wrapper at the end to ensure it is completely enclosed and sealed. Steam dumplings on medium - high heat for 8 - 10 minutes.

To make the chutney, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chilli, garlic and ginger and fry off until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, chilli powder and salt and cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes have softened. Transfer to a blender and add sesame seeds and coriander. Blend until smooth.

To serve, spoon a generous amount of the chutney onto the serving dish followed by the dumplings. Drizzle with some chilli oil and top with coriander and sesame seeds.
