- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bring this delicious dish to life:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the curry powder and cumin, stirring continuously for 1 minute to release the spices’ aroma.
- Pour in the coconut milk and broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken, flour, egg, soy sauce, and salt until well combined. This mixture will form your dumplings.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the dumpling mixture and gently drop them into the simmering soup. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Allow the dumplings to cook for about 10-12 minutes, until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
- Add the peas to the soup and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
Remember, the key to perfect dumplings is not to overmix the ingredients—this keeps them tender and light, just like the ones my grandmother used to make.
