Directions
Khinkali (Ground Meat Filled Pasta Pockets), Mongols brought the meat filled pasta pockets from central Asia to Georgia during their attacks westward in the 13th century Very similar to Baozi in China , This review was getting too wordy, so I decided to rewrite I made khinkali with ground lamb and cilantro At first I tried with smaller wrappers (3 1/2-inch rounds) They were not easy to wrap, and the amount of meat too little I later tried with 5 1/2-inch rounds These worked much better, and I could still roll the dough out on my pasta machine The second time around, I added some dried fenugreek leaves and red chili powder to the meat mixture I like that better than only cilantro, salt and pepper I did add 2 tablespoons water (I made a half-batch) to the meat I suppose the reason for the water is to keep the meat moist I am glad I didn’t add more I’m not sure any is necessary, but think that soup stock might work better if a liquid is to be added The amount of water to make the wrappers is insufficient I needed about 1/4 cup more for the half-batch I made, and I kept the dough very stiff Although the dough was stiff, it was very easy to work with, using my pasta machine, and was not sticky at all Overall, this is a good recipe and results in delicious dumplings Thank you for sharing this recipe with us The pictures show both the larger and smaller dumplings on the same plate
