Spicy Dumplings With Sour Cream

• The dough for the dumplings
• 1 1/2 - cup All Purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Filling and the sauce
• 2 to 3 medium sized boiled and mashed potatoes
• 1 chopped onion
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp Black pepper, crushed
• 2 tsp oil
• 2 tbsp red chili paste
• 2 tsp - white vinegar
• 2 tbsp Garlic butter, (you can mix garlic paste to butter and make garlic butter )4 cloves garlic paste into 1 stick of butter.
• 1 tsp or little more smoked paprika
• 2 tsp curry powder
• pinch of salt
• red lettuce shredded, optional
• sour cream, optional
• cilantro for garnish, optional

1. Take all purpose flour add salt, make a well, add eggs to in the well and start whisking the eggs with a fork and incorporating the four and eggs and add some water as well. and, knead a smooth dough, just like pasta dough. cover it and leave it aside for at least half an hour.
2. Take boiled potatoes and mash them. In a pan, take some oil and saute the chopped onions and once they turn translucent , add them to potatoes along with slat and pepper. Mix it well. leave it aside.
3. Roll the dough onto a big disc, and start placing the filling, 1 tsp of filling per dumpling is enough ,leaving some space to cut them into dumplings. If you have a ravioli maker, then you can use that as well. Or do one at time. But, this method saves lot of time and make a big batch. Roll out another piece of dough into that same size and gently cover it on that filling. Slightly press the edges around each and every filling and cut them into rounds or square with the help of knife or pizza cutter. Once you have made several of these, make them and cover them so that they do not dry out. Take salted boiling water , and boil these dumplings for about 3 - 4 minutes till they are al dente. They would start floating once they are boiled but keep stirring so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove them with the help of slotted spoon.
4. On the other hand, while your dumplings are boiling , we can make the sauce. Take red chili paste - the ready made version easily available in the stores.add in the vinegar, and heat it a little bit add the garlic butter and once the kitchen starts smelling garlicky add in the curry powder, paprika and mix it well. season it. Immediately add in the dumplings. Again mix it well. At first it would all look watery , but the trick is to let it cook for just 2 minutes on a very slow flame and get that slightly burnt caramelized flavor. All the water would evaporate and the garlic and spices would stick to the dumplings.
5. Place the dumplings on a bed of shredded red lettuce, top it of with some sour cream and cilantro. If you do not like sour cream , you can have it with mayonnaise as well. Feel free to use any other herbs or scallions. etc.
