in a mixing bowl, briefly stir together all of the dry ingredients for the dough
add in the oil, stir then start adding tablespoons of water until the dough starts to come together. take ur hands and continue to knead the dough together until there is no dry or wet mixture left in the bowl. cover the bowl with a tea towel and set it aside
now u can work on the vegetable filling ~ chop the brocolli into small bite size pieces (๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฒ๐บ๐), grate half of the carrot and chop the rest into bite sized pieces then wash the veg
add it to a small pot of boiling water and let it cook for a couple of minutes whilst you prepare the rest of the ingredients
finely dice and wash the red onion, as well as the green chilli, garlic, lemongrass and spring onion (๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ)
once cooked, drain the broccoli and carrots then leave aside. in the same pot, heat up a little bit of oil and fry the red onions until brown and soft. add in the garlic, chilli and cooked veg and fry again for a few more minutes
add the rest of the vegetable filling ingredients and keep stirring to make sure that itโs not too liquidy season with salt and pepper accordingly (๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ข๐ฏ๐ต: ๐ช๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ช๐น๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ช๐ญ๐บ ๐ช๐ต ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ต ๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ด....๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐น๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ญ)
leave the veg mixture to cool in the pot. for the sweet filling ~ add the sugar and cinnamon into a mug then crumble in the flaked almonds. stir to combine and make sure thereโs no lumps of sugar
time to assemble! this part takes a while....split the dough in the middle and then cut 4 even lines (๐๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ด) then split each segment into two again
flatten one segment, add a teaspoon of filling in the middle before gently pulling the edges into the centre. pinch the seams and roll into a ball shape (๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ต ๐ณ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ ๐๐ป๐๐ถ๐น ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ) photos shown below

repeat this for all 16 and place them on a plate to cool for a few minutes
enjoy these warm as a dessert, snack or even part of a meal!
โก this recipe was really fun to make, i tried to make this as low cal as possible and tbh iโm happy with it ~ the dough makes these more filling meaning it can be eaten as a small meal with perhaps meat or other veg (i had mines for dinner with veggie sausages) it did take a whiiile cause i let it rise for an hour even tho i didnโt have yeast in it lmao so i didnโt need to do that...iโm definitely gonna make these again but in a much smaller batch โก
