Chuchvara for a minus-ten Sunday

Small dumplings, the size of a thumbnail, that you boil in broth. It takes three people and two hours to make 200, and the whole family sits at the table with floury hands. Nobody is allowed to leave until all are done.

Dough: 1 kg flour, 2 eggs, a glass of water, salt. Thin like a coin. Cut in squares 3 cm. Filling: 500 g lamb, 2 onions, black pepper, cumin, 1 spoon of cold water. A dot of filling in each square, fold into a triangle, pinch the ends together like a little hat.

Boil in salted water 7 minutes. Serve in the broth with dill and a spoon of qatiq. In my childhood we ate them and the plate came back a second time. In my husband's family they say that if you make 200 in one evening you will have 200 good days. He counts, of course.
