Ingredients:

• 1 cup fine semolina

• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 cup water (or more if needed)

1. In a mixing bowl, add semolina, olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric powder and mix well.
2. Add the minced garlic and chopped parsley to the same mixing bowl.

4. Form the dough into small balls or oval shapes (around the size of a ping-pong ball).
5. Place the semolina balls in a steamer basket over simmering water and steam for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.
