This recipe is based on my mother in laws recipe for the classic hungarian dish.
Whenever I think of her I want to make this dish. It was always a favourite of everyone in her family. It must not have been easy to keep seven people well fed and happy.
Thank you Anne!
I adjusted some things a little to bring it up to date, for instance substituted butter for margarine.
I also increased the amount of paprika (substantially!) to make it authentic Hungarian.
On the side you should serve galuska, which are hungarian dumplings in my case made with choux pastry. They go particularly well with chicken paprikás with its rich sauce and make the dish complete.
My dumpling version is an approximation of Anne’s original dumplings, nobody really remembers exactly how she made them. However these taste really good and are worth giving a try.
