Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 250 milliliters Water
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 60 milliliters Water (for the meat filling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and 1.5 teaspoons of salt. Gradually add 250 milliliters of water while stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands.
Knead the mixture into a smooth, elastic dough for about 7-10 minutes. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ground coriander, paprika, black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and chopped parsley.
Add 60 milliliters of water to the meat mixture to create a juicy filling. Mix until well combined, then set aside.
After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal portions. Roll out one portion at a time on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1-2 millimeters.
Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circular wrappers (10-12 cm in diameter) from the rolled dough.
Place 1-2 tablespoons of the meat filling in the center of each wrapper. Gather the edges of the dough together, pleating as you go, to form a pouch with a twisted top. Pinch firmly to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the khinkali in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Boil the khinkali for 8-10 minutes, stirring gently with a slotted spoon to prevent sticking. They are ready when they float to the top and appear slightly translucent.
Remove the khinkali with a slotted spoon and serve hot. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper if desired.
