Hungarian Dumplings, known as Nokedli or Galuska, are one of Hungary’s most beloved side dishes. These soft, tender egg dumplings are quick to make and perfectly complement classic Hungarian meals such as Chicken Paprikash, Beef Goulash, and creamy stews. Similar to German Spätzle but softer in texture, Nokedli are made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, water, and salt, then boiled until light and fluffy.
If you want an authentic taste of Hungarian comfort food, this traditional Nokedli recipe is an essential addition to your kitchen.
