Spicy dumplings with sour cream

Dumplings Chinese cuisine

Last year my husband and I , we went to Alaska to celebrate his birthday. I was dying to take this trip. We had booked our tickets one month before the trip and I had started searching places to stay and booked them as well. As we were into all these preparations for the trip, I also try to make sure that I try to find out some good places to eat wherever we are going. So, it wasn't different this time that I did some research for our trip. So, finally when we headed to Alaska, one of the places that we were visiting was a small but beautiful village known as Talkeetna. I have to admit Talkeetna was full of tourists and so many youngsters mostly all students who moved their in summer for jobs. As there would be lots of tourists and we all know the time zone in Alaska specially during summers there would be sunlight till late night.It was the best place to be if you love day light. So, there were lots of awesome places to eat. We could not stuff our face as there were some really good restaurants. But, one of the days we parked our car and were heading towards Talkeetna Roadhouse to grab something for lunch. As we were passing I smelled something terrific, some so hot and spicy and so much so like Indian. Seriously. I am not kidding it just smelled so good. I was not craving Indian food, but I was definitely wanting to eat something spicy and simple. That smell registered in my mind and I saw a small sign on the road saying The Dumpling Man. The next day we were again roaming around on the same street to buy something for souvenirs to take home with us. And, for lunch I had decided to give those dumplings a try. I went their , checked out their menu and immediately saw these spicy currylicious dumpling and went ahead and ordered them. I cannot describe the moment these were in front of me hot and spicy on the bed of red lettuce and a dollop of sour cream and cilantro. I was in heaven. So, let me say more about this place so I interacted with the guy behind this small closet kitchen , and yes, the seating was outside in alley with just two or three tables. They sold these simple and hearty Russian dumplings with varied sauces and fillings but which had some fusion to it. After we came home , I tried preparing them. Although, they weren't the exact same but I am sure they are the closest that I could prepare in taste.
