Dumplings can be a great dish that can add variety to your diet.
The beauty of homemade vareniki is that you can create different fillings depending on your taste preferences and wishes.
However, even the usual basic fillings can be improved if you correctly compile the list of ingredients.
How to make better dumpling filling?
Potato dumplings
This is one of the most popular types of vareniki, as the taste of potatoes goes well with the dough. To make the dish more colorful and interesting, experienced housewives recommend adding cracklings. This filling will become truly traditional.
If you want to make Lenten dumplings, then pay attention to fried mushrooms with garlic.
In both cases, it is worth adding chopped greens to the composition.
Curd dumplings
Some people prepare a purely dessert version of cottage cheese vareniki. In this case, to improve the texture of the filling, it is better to combine the cottage cheese with chicken yolk.
If you want to leave cottage cheese as the main ingredient, but you don’t want sweet vareniki, you can do something very interesting. The fermented milk product will need to be combined with chopped herbs, salt and garlic. Such vareniki will definitely not leave anyone indifferent.
Berry dumplings
This dish always turns out tasty and desirable, but the filling often behaves "capriciously" and spreads. In this case, it is worth mixing the berries with a small amount of potato or corn starch in advance.
