Ingredients
| Name | amount |
| Wheat flour | 1 kg |
| Filtered drinking water | 900 ml |

| Onion | 400 g |
| Salt | 2 tbsp. l |

Step cooking
Knead the dough
- Sift 1 kg of flour into a deep bowl.
- Pour 1 tsp into flour. with a hill of salt and knead the dough, gradually adding 400-410 ml of water.
- Collect a tight dough into a single lump and knead thoroughly until smooth for 10 minutes. Tightly cover the kneaded dough with a cup and let it rest for 10-15 minutes, then knead again. Repeat the operation 3-4 times.
Minced meat
- Cut 1 kg of cold cuts into small cubes and put in a spacious bowl.
- Finely chop 400 g of peeled onion peeled.
- Thoroughly mix chopped meat and finely chopped onions with the addition of a small amount of salt, black pepper, seasonings and spices.
- In the process of kneading the fillings, gradually pour 500 ml of water into the minced meat and set it on “rest” for 20-30 minutes. The consistency of minced meat should be characterized as "liquid".
Did you know? To make the meat easily cut or skipped in a meat grinder, it needs to be slightly frozen, previously cut into small pieces.
We form khinkali
- Dust the cutting board with flour. Cut the dough into pieces the size of a small chicken egg.
- Form “medallions” from slices of dough, laying them on a flat plate.
- Roll the "medallions" into thin cakes 3-4 mm thick.
- If the meat is a little thick, you need to add a little more water, mix thoroughly.
- Place the dough cake in a small bowl or on a saucer to raise the edges - it will be more convenient to pinch khinkali.
- In the center of the cake put 1 tbsp. l toppings.
- Collect the filling in the “bag”, uniformly blinding the edges of the cakes in a circle.
- Close up the top of the bag tightly and pinch off (or cut off with a knife) a long “tail”.
- Fold the finished khinkali on a flat plate and put a capacious pot of water on the stove.
Important! Tight dough “does not like” a large amount of flour! Therefore, the surface where the work is done with the dough, flour should only slightly dust the work surface.
Cook khinkali
- As soon as the water boils, pour 1 tbsp. l salt.
- Stir the water with a long (preferably wooden) spoon so that a funnel of spinning water forms.
- Run khinkali one at a time in the pan, without stopping gently stirring water with Georgian dumplings with a spoon, until the water boils again.
- After boiling, khinkali can no longer be mixed, and you can remove the heat under the pan to medium.
- After 10-12 minutes from the moment of boiling, the dumplings that have surfaced to the surface and are ready to be caught with a slotted spoon, put on serving plates or a serving dish and serve hot to the table, sprinkled with black ground pepper.
