Traditional Georgian Khinkali

Method

1. In a bowl, mix ground beef with chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin.
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.
