Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love this. My sister’s friend used to make this. I’ve never been able to recreate it. The great Hungarian mystery solved!
Hi Nelda,
Thanks for your comment! I really hope this recipe is a hit for you!
There are many way of making paprika sauce especially when it comes to preparing the famous Chicken Paprikash dish (but that’s an entirely different recipe).
I really like this recipe because it’s very simple yet flavorful. It’s really good with egg noodles and dumplings.
Hi,
So would you mind sharing how you prepare the sauce for the famous chicken dish?

Hi,is it the sauce used for paprika schnitzel?
Hi Stephane,
I use this sauce for chicken and pasta. I suppose you could try it with schnitzel but I think it might make it a bit too soggy as this is a rather thick sauce. Best of luck!
Hi I need your help I”m serving about 50 people or more and I would like to to make you paprika sauce to put over hungarian noodles. Should I double or triple your directions. This is for an American Legion dinner and I need help thanks.
Hi Terry,
I would suggest tripling the amount of ingredients as you’ve mentioned. Just be sure to add the sour cream right before you serve it. Best wishes with your dinner. Hope everyone enjoys the meal!
