Ingredients

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix ground lamb with chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, coriander, and cinnamon.
  2. In another bowl, combine flour, water, and egg to make a dough. Knead until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each into a thin circle.
  4. Place a spoonful of meat mixture in the center of each circle.
  5. Bring the edges together, sealing the dumpling. Pinch the top to form a knot.
  6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the khinkali and steam for 25-30 minutes.
  7. Serve with a side of fresh herbs or sour cream.
  8. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
