Family I-Kiribati Pan-Fried Vegetable Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika, tomato, potato, lemon juice.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the vegetable and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of I-Kiribati flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional I-Kiribati accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
