Turmeric Matzo Balls

These vibrant turmeric matzo balls bring a beautiful golden hue and a subtle earthy flavour to your favourite soups. This vegetarian staple offers a creative twist on the classic dumpling, using ground turmeric to enhance both the visual appeal and the depth of the dish. The secret to achieving a light, airy texture lies in the gentle handling of the mixture, ensuring the balls remain fluffy rather than dense as they simmer in the hot broth.

Whether you are serving them in a traditional clear vegetable stock or a hearty seasonal stew, these dumplings add a sophisticated touch to a comforting homemade meal. They are particularly wonderful for festive gatherings or as a nourishing midweek supper during the colder months. Serve them simply with a sprinkle of fresh dill to complement the golden colour and aromatic spice.

Ingredients for Turmeric Matzo Balls

  • 2 large eggs, plus 1 egg white

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 120 to 180ml matzo ball mix (usually 1-1 1/2 bags out of a box)

In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and the oil.

Add the turmeric into the egg mixture. Whisk to incorporate to an even yellow colour.

Sprinkle in 120ml (1 bag) of the matzo ball mix. Stir in with a fork, mixing as little as possible. Don't overwork it. Chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of water or chicken stock to a boil.

Wet your hands in a bowl of cold water. Using your hand, and manipulating as little as possible, scoop out a ping-pong-ball size of the mixture, adding more matzo ball mix or matzo meal as needed. Form into a ball with your fingertips, using no real pressure. Bring the water down to a simmer. Drop the balls into the water. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
