Dumpling Dough

Method

Preparation

1

Make the Dough

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, cilantro, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

3

Roll and Fill Dumplings

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Gather the edges and pinch to seal, creating a pleated dumpling shape.

4

Cook the Hinkali

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add dumplings in batches and cook for about 10-12 minutes until they float and are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon.

5

Prepare the Adzhika Sauce

In a bowl, mix pureed tomatoes, chopped chili peppers, minced garlic, cilantro, salt, and vinegar. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6

Serve

Serve the Hinkali hot with a side of Adzhika sauce for dipping.
