👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Make the dough: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add lukewarm water, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine ground beef, lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, cilantro, parsley, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper. Mix well. Gradually add beef broth, mixing until the filling is moist and slightly soupy. This broth is key to the juicy interior.

Assemble the khinkali: Divide the dough into small, equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6-7 inches in diameter). Place a generous spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.

Form the dumplings: Gather the edges of the dough up around the filling, pleating as you go to create a twisted top knot. Ensure the bottom is sealed to prevent leakage. The characteristic 'tail' or 'handle' is formed at the top.

Cook the khinkali: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the khinkali, ensuring they don't stick to each other or the bottom of the pot. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings float and the dough is cooked through.

Serve: Remove khinkali with a slotted spoon. Serve immediately, sprinkled generously with black pepper. Traditionally, the top knot is held to eat the dumpling, and the knot itself is discarded.
