Dietary lazy dumplings not only wonderfully diversify any diet, but also allow you to treat yourself to something tasty. After all, not every woman can withstand a strict diet for quite a long time, even despite the great desire to lose weight. And this desire appears in almost every woman at different periods of life. However, not everyone who wants to lose weight can strictly adhere to the necessary restrictions. Some give up this thankless task, while others, after a slight indulgence, continue to adhere to the necessary menu.
How to make lazy dumplings non-caloric?
Low-fat cottage cheese is present in many diets, as it is a source of many beneficial vitamins, minerals and trace elements that are absolutely necessary for the normal functioning of the human body.
Diet lazy dumplings can be prepared in such a way that they contain a minimum of calories. The main secret is to use instant oatmeal, oatmeal or cornmeal instead of flour. Instead of sugar, you can use a substitute or eliminate it altogether. In this case, lazy cottage cheese dumplings can be served along with honey, which is allowed in small amounts in many diets. If you have a very strict diet, you can use a recipe in which lazy dumplings should turn out salty. Thus, sugar there will simply not be provided for in the recipe.
As a last resort, to reduce calories, you can use your favorite recipe for preparing a delicious dish, changing the ratio of the main ingredients quite a bit. This is very easy and simple to do. You just need to take more low-fat cottage cheese and less flour. In this case, it is better to give preference to dry cottage cheese, which can absorb less flour. After all, if the consistency of the curd mass is not dense enough, you will not be able to form balls and the dish will simply fail. In addition, it is better to grind the cottage cheese with an ordinary spoon, and not to interrupt it with a blender, since the consistency of the curd mass largely depends on this. If you use a blender, the mass will become more liquid and will be able to absorb quite a lot of flour.

Hello my dears!
Remember, in my last article I promised to give you a healthy and tasty surprise?
So, this is it! Lazy dumplings with cottage cheese, without sugar, on whole grain flour.
Unexpected, but still.
I tried such diet lazy dumplings for the first time last year and I really liked them. Now if I cook, it's the only way.
I like these dumplings more than the classic ones, because the taste of whole grain flour is much brighter and richer.
Although you can use regular flour. Technology does not change anything.
I don't add sugar to them., and when serving, pour over honey, Greek yogurt and sprinkle with fruits or berries.
By the way, Italians add parmesan to such dumplings and serve them as a main dish.
Once I sinned and poured heavy cream with honey on the dumplings. And after the dumplings were over, the dressing remained in the plate. I felt sorry for throwing it away. And it dawned on me.
Once upon a time, in the distant childhood past, my grandmother had a cow in our village. Accordingly, we distilled milk with our separator (who doesn’t know, this is a unit that separates cream from milk), we made our own sour cream, butter, cottage cheese, etc.
So, the most delicacy at that time in the village was to pour fresh, still warm, rustic sour cream the color of baked milk, mix it with natural honey and dip fresh white bread into it. You don't even know what a thrill it is!
In short, I got about the same buzz, crumbling bread into this gravy, which was left after dumplings. True, the bread was whole grain and instead of homemade sour cream - cream, but it was so similar!
So I’m thinking about whether I should sin again ... When else, if not on September 1, arrange a trip to childhood.
And yet (you see, in my old age I was completely zakolbasil) and I decided for the first time in my life to cook Greek corn. Nobody cooks it here, but everyone bakes it on the grill. After consulting with my mother, I cooked it. I have never eaten such sweet and juicy corn. Greece once again pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that corn in the local climate turns out so tasty.
But let's get back to our lazy dumplings.
Although they won’t take me back to my childhood (for some reason it was not common in our lazy family - they always made ordinary ones)), but they are very tasty and do not look like ordinary lazy dumplings.

Cook and tasty and bon appetit!
Everyone knows about the great benefits of cottage cheese: it speeds up metabolism, improves digestion, and has a beneficial effect on the immune system. Cottage cheese is especially useful for children, and it will not be harmful for adults either.
Personally, I can’t imagine my life without cottage cheese, I love it simply because it’s delicious. However, I know that pure cottage cheese is not as sweet for everyone as it is for me. Therefore, I offer a simple and quick recipe for lazy dumplings! This is a great option for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Instead of flour, we will use only semolina, which means that the dish will turn out to be more satisfying and healthy. In addition, such lazy dumplings can be considered dietary if you take low-fat cottage cheese and put a minimum of sugar. I like this dish because despite the rather large amount of semolina, the taste of cottage cheese is still perfectly felt in the finished dish, which cannot be said about lazy dumplings with flour. By consistency, my dumplings turned out to be quite dense, but they did not fall apart during cooking.
An obligatory stage in the preparation of this dish - after cooking, it is necessary to flavor the lazy dumplings with butter in order to feel the taste and aroma of childhood. And of course, eat ready-made dumplings hot, dipping them in cold sour cream or jam.
So, to prepare lazy flourless dumplings (with semolina), we need the following ingredients.
Mash the curd with a fork. You can rub it through a sieve if you don't like lumps. Usually store-bought cottage cheese in packs is quite homogeneous and this is not required. Lumps in any case will not spoil the taste of the finished dish.
Let's add sugar. A tablespoon is enough for me to taste. Also add salt.
Let's break the egg. Mix everything thoroughly. Depending on the amount of sugar and the size of the egg, the mass will become more or less liquid.
Let's add mango. We take tablespoons without a slide.
Mix thoroughly and leave for half an hour. The mass will turn out to be quite thick, but more time is needed for the semolina to swell and the dough to turn out denser.
Sprinkle the board with semolina and form dumplings from the swollen dough. You can roll the sausage and cut it into pieces, or you can simply form balls of any size. Keep in mind that in boiling water they will increase a little in size.
Gently launch our lazy dumplings with semolina into boiling salted water. Cook until they float to the surface, it will take no more than 5 minutes. Spread out on plates with a slotted spoon. But it is better to drain the water with dumplings into a colander, so there will be no excess moisture left.
I advise you to serve lazy dumplings without flour in deep plates, so they stay hot longer. Flavor the resulting products with butter and enjoy a tasty and healthy dish.
Of course, it will be much tastier to eat lazy dumplings with sour cream, jam, condensed milk or honey ... Or better - with everything at once! Bon appetit!
