Dough and Filling
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Shape the Khinkali
Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to form a pouch, twisting at the top to seal.

Cook the Dumplings
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the khinkali into the boiling water, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

Serve
Remove the khinkali with a slotted spoon and serve hot, with additional black pepper sprinkled on top.
