In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add 200 ml water while mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
In another bowl, prepare the filling by combining the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander, chilled water, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a cohesive mixture.
Divide the dough into even parts and roll each into a ball. Roll out each ball into a thin circle about 4 inches in diameter.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough and pleat them together at the top to seal, making sure they are well secured to prevent leakage during cooking.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the khinkali into the boiling water, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the khinkali float to the top.
Remove the cooked khinkali with a slotted spoon and let drain slightly. Serve hot, traditionally without a fork, and enjoy the flavorful broth inside each dumpling.
