Bread dumplings, Semmelknödel in German, are a staple in Germany.They are a delicious way to use sourdough bread leftover and soak up some sauce! This simple recipe takes it to the next level with a creamy curry gravy.

- Dice the sourdough bread into small cubes and place them in a large bowl. Bring the milk to a boil and pour into the cubed bread. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Slice the shallot and fry until golden crispy. Mix the fried shallot and the rest of the ingredients into the bread milk mixture until well blended.
- Form 16 small dumplings or 10 large dumplings out of the mixture. The dumplings should be firm but still sticky, so that they won’t fall apart while boiling. In a very large pan bring salted water to the boil. Place the dumplings in the scalding water and simmer for 20 minutes. Dumplings are done when they float.
- Peel onions, cut them into halves and microwave with a cup of water for 10 minutes. Remove the onions halves and puree them in your blender. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a skillet. Stir in minced garlic and ginger until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add in coriander, curry, cumin, turmeric, chilli, garam masala, chopped green chillies and onion puree. Stir fry for about 10 minutes.
- Add tomato puree and yoghurt to the pan. Mix well and add milk to get a medium thick soup consistency. Add sugar and salt to taste. Simmer gently for at least 30 minutes. Reduce to a thick but pourable applesauce texture. If it starts to get too dry, add more milk. Add in the bread dumplings and sprinkle the parsley over.

What a fantastic idea! I have never heard of a sour dough bread dumpling. It seems that I am learning something new with almost every one of your posts, ANgie! And, I love that. These look mouthwatering. I cannot believe they are bread dumplings and am so curious about the texture. I guess I will have to just make them myself.

Ooooh.....my favourite here....curry! It's thick and colourful. Looks really delicious. I can eat that with anything...mmm
Yah! I have all the spices you listed! I just made fresh garam masala. I'm experimenting with Indian cooking and painstakingly went about looking for the spices. This is a great recipe and a great addition to my list of Indian recipes.
Beautiful pics and a wholesome meal!
Wow! This looks fantastic! Like a meatless kofta curry! I like it!

I am such a failure when it comes to making curry. Your curry looks so rich and creamy. I'm so jealous.

Such delicious dumplings made with sourdough! I never saw one with sourdough before. Your curry looks excellent too!
I'm not usually a fan of dumplings. Doughey Flavorless globs. But, with that spice filled sauce, these look promising. I will be adding these to my list of things to make.
Looks so rich and flavourful!Makes such a great sauce for the dumplings!
The dish looks so rich in flavours. Love the dumplings with delicious sauce.
I prefer normal potato dumplings, but these Semmelknödel with curry sauce look so good...!
Now this is a totally new dish to me. But it looks yummy especially with all the juicy gravy on the dumplings.
This is interesting & looks delicious. I love curry gravy! The more the better, yay!
