Your delicious Chicken Paprikash is ready to serve. It is generally served with egg dumplings.
For dumplings:
Keep water to boil in a pot.
Mix all the ingredients for the dumplings in a mixing bowl and mix well. It should be a thick mixture. If it is sticky, add small amounts of flour until it is drier.
Using a spoon, drop small blobs in the boiling water. Dip the spoon in the boiling water from time to time to avoid the dough to stick to it. Let the dumplings cook for 2-3 minutes till cooked.
Serve hot with the Paprikash.
