How to cook a knaidel May 31st 2013, 13:56 Published May 31, 2013 FoxNews.com The German-Yiddish word knaidel didn't stump Arvind Mahankali this time.  Mahankali, 13, nabbed the title of Scripps National Spelling Bee champion on Thursday night, after losing two previous championships on German-derived words. But like many, you may have wondered, what the heck does knaidel mean? In its basic form, it means a small ball of unleavened dough.  But it is essentially a type of dumpling popular in Jewish cooking.  One type of knaidel most are familiar with is a matzo ball, commonly made of matzo meal, (unleavened wheat flour) chicken fat, and eggs. You can also make them out of potatoes for a gluten-free version. Mahankali told the AP that he'd never tried the Jewish comfort food.  So in honor of spelling bee whiz kid, make a bowl of matzo balls this weekend.  Recipe: Matzo Ball Knaidel
