Topoi

Topoi is a Fijian dumpling made with wheat flour, coconut milk or cream, and sugar. The dough is shaped into balls, which are then simmered in a pot of boiling water until soft and thoroughly cooked. Once boiled, the dumplings are taken out, and the remaining water is further cooked with additional coconut milk until it has thickened to a porridge-like consistency. The dumplings can be consumed either on their own or with the porridge mixture. Topoi is a typical Fijian breakfast that is usually accompanied by butter, jam, and a cup of steaming tea on the side.
