Equipment

Grater To grate the green bananas.
Mixing Bowl For combining the dough.
Stock Pot For boiling the dumpling.
Slotted Spoon To remove the cooked dumplings from the boiling water

Ingredients

2 cups All Purpose Flour or flour of choice
5 Green Bananas grated, (about 1 1/4 cup when grated)
1 1/4 cups Water adjust as needed
1 - 1 1/2 tsp Salt or add to taste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Wash then peel the green bananas and grate them using a grater.
In a mixing bowl, add the grated green banana to the flour and salt. Gradually add water to the flour and banana mixture. Using your hands, mix then knead well to form a dough. Start with about 1 cup of water and adjust as needed to achieve a well combined, slightly sticky dough.
Pinch or cut off your preferred size dumpling pieces. In the palm of your hand using a circular motion, form each piece into a ball, flatten slightly, and fold the edges of the dough into the center. Set each dumpling aside.
Carefully place the dumplings into the boiling water and boil for 20-25 minutes or until they start to float. Remove dumplings from the water using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
