I followed the recipe exactly and the dumplings turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with a tamarind chutney and they were delicious.

These potato dumplings were a bit of a disappointment. They were not as crispy as I expected and the flavor was bland. I would not make these again.

These potato dumplings were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
