Here is the recipe for the cornmeal dumplings I made for the delicious steamed coconut salmon recipe. I don’t use baking powder because I like my dumplings stiff and chewy, with a nice bite to it.
Serve with stewed or curried chicken or fish.

- 1 cup corn meal fine, Non GMO if you can find it!

- 1 tablespoon green seasoning optional
- Salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine cornmeal, flour, salt and sugar.
- Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough.
- In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups of water to boil(maybe a little less if it is a narrow saucepan). Add salt.
- Pinch of pieces of dough and shape like the pic above, rolling between the palms of your hands making the middle thicker than the ends, and then flattening. (Use a dusting of flour, if required, to keep it from sticking to your hands)
- Drop gently into boiling water and boil for 10 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Serve with stewed or curried chicken or fish.
