Hungarian Knödel is a delicious preparation that is part of Hungary's rich culinary tradition. Originating from Central European regions with Austro-Hungarian influences, this dish has transcended borders and has been adapted in several Latin American countries, where it is sometimes known as "Hungarian ñoquis" or simply "knödel." Although its fundamental base is a flour dough, its recipe varies slightly depending on the region, being a classic accompaniment for stews and braised meat dishes, especially those with intense sauces like the famous chicken paprikash. Its simplicity and flavor make it a favorite both in homes and at special celebrations.
