Soft, pillowy dumplings – the heart of Hungarian comfort food
Galuska, also known as Nokedli, is a traditional Hungarian dumpling similar to German Spätzle. It is soft, tender, and slightly chewy, making it the perfect side dish for rich Hungarian sauces like Chicken Paprikash (Csirkepaprikás) or beef stews.
Simple ingredients, fast preparation, and incredible texture — this is one of the most important staples in Hungarian cuisine.
