Dumplings with cottage cheese are an unusual and refined version of a traditional dish from Turkish cuisine. Unlike the usual meat fillings, it uses delicate cottage cheese with a vanilla hint, giving the dish an exquisite taste. The thin dough, handmade, envelops the filling, and the slow steaming process makes the dumplings juicy and soft. They are served with sour cream, which emphasizes their lightness and harmony of flavor. This recipe is suitable for both everyday family dinners and sophisticated guest receptions, surprising with its combination of simplicity and refinement. An ideal choice for lovers of original flavor solutions!
