Khinkali is a dumpling dish of Georgia,Tbilisi. It's originated in the Georgian mountain region. The filling of Khinkali vary with the area. It consist meat mince filling of lamb, pork, beef or mixed meat. With meat mince, herbs like cilantro or parsley is used with black pepper and salt. The meat filling is uncooked when Khinkali is assembled. To make Khinkali juicier water is used along with herbs and spices. After assembling, khinkalis(dumplings) are cooked in boiled salty water. The juice is trapped inside the dumpling and it has typically eaten first by sucking the juices while taking the first bite. It's an amazing dish. I ate lots of dumpling dishes but this is unique by its simplicity and awesome taste.
