These keema (minced meat) dumplings are to die for – made with a mix of plant based meat, potatoes, peas and flavourful indian spices. The viral sushi-inspired rice paper dumplings are amazing, but once you try this, I think you’ll love this one more.
Paired with a spicy chilli-tomato chutney that was inspired by the dipping chutney for nepalese dumplings called Momos, these taste phenomenal. Crispy on the outside and stuffed with a punchy keema filling on the inside to make the perfect snack. Of all time.
