• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 cup water or as required
• Pinch of salt

Filling:

• 2 lb. ground chicken
• 1 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

• 1 tablespoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon hot chili powder
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• Salt and Pepper

Cooking Instructions:

For stuffing mixture, combine all filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well, adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow all ingredients to impart their unique flavors. This also improves the consistency of the filling.

In a large bowl combine flour, oil, salt and water. Mix well, knead until the dough becomes homogeneous in texture, about 10 minutes. Cover and let stand for at least 15 min. Knead well again before making wrappers. Prepare 1-in. diameter dough balls. It is recommended to work with a dozen or so balls at a time to prevent from drying. Take a dough ball, roll between your palms to spherical shape. Dust working board with dry flour. On the board gently flatten the ball with your palm. Then roll out into 3-in diameter wrapper. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Cover with bowl to prevent from drying.
