Hello guys, I am pikria, from Georgia, and i want to earn some money for my study . I want to teach you how to prepare Khinkali , one of the most famous Georgian dishes
boiled dough filled with meat ,
For dough you will need :
3 cups flour, 2 teaspoon salt, 1 egg, water 1 to 1,5 cups (dough must not be soft)
Filling :Ground beef or lamb -- 1 pound
Ground pork -- 1/2 pound
Broth or water-- 1/2 cup
Onions, minced -- 2
Parsley, chopped -- 1/4 cup
Dill, chopped -- 1/4 cup
Ground caraway -- 1 tablespoon
Salt and pepper -- to season
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg and 1 cup of the water. Stir the egg and water into the flour with a fork. Add more water as needed to form a soft dough. Remove the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 5 to 6 minutes. Cover and set aside for at least 20 minutes to rest.
In another bowl, mix together the ingredients for the filling. Cook a small portion in a greased skillet to taste seasoning and adjust as necessary.
Cut the rested dough into 2 portions. Roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 3-inch rounds of the dough using a cookie cutter or large glass. Roll each round out into a 5- or 6-inch round. Sprinkle each round with a little flour and set aside as you finish with the rest.
Place about 1/4 cup of filling in the center of a round of dough. Working around the dumpling, bring an edge of the dough up over the filling, making pleats in the dough and bringing the edges together over the top of the filling. Pinch the top of the dumpling together to seal it and form a knob. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds and filling.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings to the water and cook at a low boil for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the dumplings to a serving dish with a slotted spoon. Season generously with cracked black pepper and serve hot.
How to Eat Khinkali: Grab the top knob of a dumpling and bring it to your mouth. Take the first bite carefully. If the dumpling has been sealed properly, delicious, brothy juice wil
