Dumplings are wonderful, and can be found in most cuisines. But these are unique due to their fun shape, soupy interior, and eating etiquette. Khinkali are typically filled with meat and a bit of liquid so they are in fact soup dumplings.
Khinkali (ხინკალი) are topknot dumplings from Georgia's mountainous regions. They are filled with seasoned lamb (or beef, veal, pork, or a mixture) and can be served with a sour plum sauce, garlic-vinegar dipping sauce (recipe included), or another favorite sauce.
Art of eating Khinkali. Firstly, you hold the 'crown' (typically not eaten) of the Khinkali with your right hand, and lift the bottom part with your left hand, so it's upside down. Slowly and carefully, bite a small hole in the Khinkali and drink the delicious juice inside. Then bite in and enjoy the rest!
