Gnocchi is originated from Northern Italy. Like many Italian dishes, gnocchi has considerable variation in recipes and gnocchi names across the different regions. It is eaten as a first course or it can also be served as a contorno (side dish). Gnocchi is a variety of pasta consisting of thick, small, soft tiny dumplings like dough that made from potato, flour, semolina, salt, and some time eggs. I made gnocchi with Indian flavors. You can adjust this as per your taste or region. Here, the recipe is for 4 servings.
