Georgian pork and beef khinkali
Georgian khinkali with homemade dough and a spiced pork and beef filling. Water in the filling helps create a juicy centre. Makes 20 pieces for 4 people.
This version combines pork and beef with onion, garlic and cilantro in a juicy filling, wrapped in firm flour-and-water dough. Shape the khinkali into tightly sealed pouches and boil until they float and the dough is cooked. Serve hot; to eat, hold each dumpling by its pleated top and carefully sip the broth inside.
Method
- 01
Make the dough
Mix the flour with the warm water and salt. Knead for 8–10 minutes, until the dough is firm and smooth. Cover it and leave it to rest for 30 minutes.

Mix the filling
Mix the pork and beef with the onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, black pepper and salt. Gradually add the water while mixing, until the filling is juicy and evenly combined.
- 03
Shape the khinkali
Divide the dough and roll it out on a floured surface. Cut 10–12 cm circles and roll each one out slightly. Place a generous spoonful of filling in the centre, pleat the edges upwards to form a pouch and seal the top firmly; aim for 15–20 pleats. Repeat to make about 20 pieces.

Boil and serve
Bring a large pot of the cooking water to a boil. Cook the khinkali in batches for 12–15 minutes; move them carefully at the start so they do not stick. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and serve hot.
