Ingredients

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add water and knead into a smooth dough. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine ground meat, chopped onion, egg, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Divide the dough into 8-10 portions. Roll each into a circle, fill with meat mixture, and fold into a pouch.
  4. Seal the edges and prick the top with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add khinkali and cook for 15-20 minutes until they float.
  6. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, garlic, and a pinch of salt for the dipping sauce.
  7. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
