Khinkali – Dumplings filled with minced meat

Khinkali - Dumplings filled with minced meat

Portions: 12 persons | Preparation time: 70 minutes

Khinkali is the calling card of Georgian folk cuisine. This seemingly simple dish is harder to make than it looks. It takes a long time to knead the dough until it becomes elastic, but it’s worth the effort! Juicy, fragrant and incredibly appetizing are the pockets filled with meat and incredibly delicate in taste.
