Gyoza dumplings recipe, How to make dumplings

Gyoza are Japanese version dumplings similar to Chinese. Gyoza is pan fried dumpling consisting  of stuffing with veggies or meat and differs from Chinese dumplings for its garlic flavor. I made this recipe in Desi version so everyone can make an attempt. You don’t have to run to the stores in search of these items as I have prepared it with things that are easily available at home. The gyoza wrappers used in the recipe are also homemade with easy step by step pictures. So lets get to the steaming!
