Chechen dumplings
Description
You've decided to try a new dish? Try this simple recipe for preparing Chechen dumplings. This is one of the variations of a traditional Chechen dish. During holidays, dumplings are made not from wheat flour, but from corn flour, and they have a completely different shape. These dumplings are served with boiled meat and garlic sauce. The dumplings are washed down with broth. The result is both a first and a second course in one. Let me tell you how.
