GEORGIAN KHINKALI - VIDEO

in #dtube7 years ago


Khinkali is a very popular Georgian dumpling made of twisted knobs of dough, stuffed with meat and spices. It is considered to be one of the national dishes of Georgia. Khinkali, which is a Georgian type of Dumplings, originated in mountainous regions of Mtiuleti, Pshavi and Khevsureti. Later Khinkali varieties spread across the Caucasus region. Different regions of Georgia make khinkali with different fillings. The most popular filling is a pork/beef mix. In the mountains, khinkali is often made with a lamb filling. Fillings can also include Imeretian cheese mixed with cottage cheese; mushrooms; and mashed potato.

Khinkali are served hot with no garnish other than black pepper. There is an art to eating Khinkali. The doughy top, where the pleats all meet, is never eaten, but used as a handle for holding the hot dumplings and is left on the plate to show how many have been eaten. In Georgia, this top is called the “kudi” (hat) or “kuchi” belly button.

Ingredients

For the dough
250 ml of very cold water
500 gr of plain flour
1 tsp of salt

@allasyummyfood thank you for the post, Please i want to know is eating Khinkali plain or with ground black pepper okay?

During my visit to Batum I have eaten something very similar to this. it was done in the same way and it looked like this. In Turkiye, we "ravioli" We poured onto say .. yoghurt and garlic chili sauce. I like the recipe very much thank you :) If you want to see my publicity post I can share it with you url :)
we have met: D

Yummy.thanks for sharing

Yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This looks delicious. I am Hispanic and this filling is very similar to "picadillo" which we use in empanadas. The crust is similar also except we usually deep fry and some people throw them in the oven. I can't wait to try it this way.

the unique of this food is its edges that are not eaten to count how much has been spent.

I have also posted a recipe please take a look at thishttps://steemit.com/photography/@rahad/food
