🇬🇪 Georgia recipe

Khinkali

Khinkali are the magnificent soup dumplings of Georgia, plump purses of dough twisted into a topknot and filled with a seasoned mixture of meat and broth. Eating them is a ritual: you pick up the dumpling by its knob, take a small bite from the side to sip the hot broth inside, then devour the rest. The twisted top is traditionally left on the plate and never eaten, serving as a count of how many you have consumed.
