Gondi (Iranian Chickpea Dumplings)
This dumpling recipe was popular among Iranian Jews for Shabbat. Believed to be uniquely Jewish Iranian food. The dumplings can be served in chicken soup, as an appetizer with fresh bread, as a side dish. Many recipes call for using ground chicken but beef, lamb or even mixtures work well. Some recipes include 1 or 2 eggs to help the meatballs bind, though I've omitted them from my recipe. The dumplings may be cooked in chicken stock or just added to your favorite chicken soup recipe in place of matza balls.
