Galuska

The popular side dish of Hungary

When delving into Hungarian cuisine, you’ll often come across” galuska”, also known as “nokedli”. These soft, small dumplings are a staple accompaniment to many traditional dishes, enhancing meals with their delightful texture.

What Are Galuska?

Galuska are tender dumplings made from a simple batter of eggs, flour, water, and a pinch of salt. The batter is dropped into boiling water through a special tool or a slotted spoon, forming small, irregularly shaped dumplings. Once they float to the surface, they’re ready to be drained and served.

A Perfect Pairing

These dumplings are commonly served alongside hearty Hungarian dishes like pörkölt (a rich meat stew) and paprikás (a paprika-infused meat dish). Their mild flavor and soft texture make them ideal for soaking up savory sauces, providing a comforting balance to robust main courses.
