Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)

- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Spiced Potato Dumplings with Creamy Sauce
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and cilantro. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Flatten slightly to form dumplings.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the dumplings for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Heat over low until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
- Serve the dumplings drizzled with the creamy herb sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to thoroughly drain the potatoes to avoid a soggy mixture.
- Adjust spices according to your taste preference for a milder or spicier dumpling.
- Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring even cooking.
Easy Variations
- Cheesy Dumplings: Mix in ½ cup of shredded cheese into the potato mixture before shaping.
- Spicy Kick: Add chopped green chilies or red pepper flakes to the potato mixture for heat.
- Herb-Infused Sauce: Experiment with different fresh herbs such as dill or basil in the creamy sauce.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh green salad for a light pairing.
- Warm naan or pita bread to scoop up the sauce.
- A tangy yogurt dip for added flavor.
- A side of chutney for a sweet and spicy contrast.
