Steamed Bansh

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs Garlic
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 250 g Mutton
  • 1 pcs Onion
  • 180 g All Purpose Flour
  • 390 ml Water
  • 0.75 tsp Black Pepper
  • 250 ml Milk
  • 2 tsp Black Tea

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine {all_purpose_flour} with a pinch of {salt}, then add {water} and knead until a firm, smooth dough forms. Cover and rest until relaxed and slightly springy.
  2. Mix {mutton} with grated {onion}, {garlic}, {black_pepper}, more {salt}, and a splash of {water}. Stir until the filling looks sticky and juicy so the dumplings stay succulent.
  3. Roll the rested dough thin on a lightly floured surface, cut small rounds, fill with {mutton} mixture, and pinch closed into compact half-moon dumplings with no trapped air.
  4. Set the dumplings in a steamer over high heat, leaving space so they do not stick. Steam until the wrappers turn glossy and the {mutton} is cooked through and juicy.
  5. Simmer {black_tea} in a saucepan with {water}, then add {milk} and {salt}. Keep at a gentle simmer until the tea tastes full and savory, then strain if you like.
  6. Serve the steamed dumplings immediately with the hot milk tea. Finish with a final pinch of {black_pepper} over the dumplings for a simple fragrant lift.
