How to make khinkali correctly
Khinkali is a very tasty Georgian dish, which, due to its popularity, has long gone beyond the borders of Georgia. What are they? Khinkali is a bag of thinly rolled plastic dough filled with meat or other stuffing.
From above they have folds, which are connected into a knot over the filling. Khinkali is cooked in boiling water for 10-15 minutes, so each khinkalina must be molded neatly and correctly so that it does not fall apart during cooking, and the filling remains juicy. Sometimes khinkali is not boiled with water, but steamed. Such bags are formed a little differently than those that will be boiled in water.
And for beginners who find it difficult to mold beautiful and neat khinkali for the first time, the method of modeling with a bowl will help.
