Directions

  1. 1Chop the onion.
  2. 2Heat a lot of oil in a pot and add the chopped onion.
  3. 3Add Hungarian sweet paprika to the onion and mix together.
  4. 4Add washed and clean chicken thighs and legs to the pot.
  5. 5Add Delikat instead of salt to the chicken and onion mixture, and mix everything together.
  6. 6Add plain cold water (about 3 bowls) to the chicken, covering it.
  7. 7Lower the heat and let the chicken cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  8. 8While the chicken is cooking, prepare homemade noodles (nokadli) by mixing 5 cups of flour with 6 eggs.
  9. 9Add as much water as needed to the flour and egg mixture to form the noodle dough; do not measure precisely.
  10. 10After the chicken has cooked for 1 hour, continue cooking for another 25 minutes.
  11. 11Whisk together sour cream, 3 tablespoons of flour, and some water to create a thickening mixture.
  12. 12Add the sour cream and flour mixture to the chicken paprikash.
  13. 13Cook the chicken paprikash with the thickening mixture just until it gets a little thicker, without cooking too long or too high.
  14. 14Boil the homemade noodles by dropping them into water; they are done about a minute after they float to the top.
