Soak the fine bulgur in hot water for 15 minutes.
Knead the bulgur, flour, tomato paste, and spices into an elastic dough.
Shape the dumplings with a fingertip hollow, so they hold sauce.
Boil the dumplings in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Cook the garlicky tomato sauce for 8 minutes.
Toss the dumplings in the sauce for 3 minutes and serve with parsley.
💡 Tip: Press a fingertip mark into the center of each dumpling; the sauce clings better.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with parsley and lemon.
