2. 2

   Step 2

   Heat the oil in a large pot and fry the onion (opens in a new tab) until golden. Add the garlic (opens in a new tab), ginger, tomato (opens in a new tab) and turmeric (opens in a new tab) and cook until soft.

   • medium heat
   • Stockpot / large pot (opens in a new tab)

   

3. 3

4. 4

   Step 4

   Roll the dough into thin ropes and pinch off grape-sized pieces. Press each one with your thumb against your palm to make a small, thin cup shape and drop it into the boiling soup.

   • 12 min
   • medium-high heat

   The thumb-press gives the skyu a thin centre so it cooks through evenly.
