Ingredients of Austrian Dumplings
- 200 gm cottage cheese

How to Make Austrian Dumplings
1.
Take 200 gms of paneer and squeeze it/mash it. Add semolina, flour and couscous and a pinch of salt and mix it either by hand or with a mixture. The consistency of the dough will depend upon the moisture in the paneer. Higher the moisture, better the dough. You may also add a little lemon juice in case you like it to be a little sour. Once the dough is ready, keep it in the fridge for an hour.
2.
Rub a little flour on your hands and on your work surface to ensure that the dough does not stick to either.
3.
Take a ball of dough and flatten it. Fill it with the mixture made of carrots, ginger and raisins ground together in a bit of olive oil, and seal the dough back together with the filling inside.
4.
Rub the dumpling in a bit of flour to ensure that it does not stick.
5.
Once the uncooked dumplings are ready, drop them gently in soft boiling water (simmering water).
6.
When dropped in boiling water, they will instantly drown. Once cooked, they will float back up to the surface.
7.
Pull them out of the water and serve.
8.
They can also be rolled in breadcrumbs or flack seeds to add flavor.
