Khinkali is a traditional Georgian dumpling known for its distinct twisted top and juicy, flavorful filling. Typically made with a thin dough wrapping, it encases a mixture of ground meat, such as beef, pork, or lamb, combined with onions, garlic, herbs, and spices. Some variations include mushrooms, cheese, or potatoes for vegetarians. The dumplings are boiled and served hot, often sprinkled with black pepper. Khinkali is rich in protein from the meat and provides energy from the starch in the dough. However, the dish can be high in calories and saturated fats depending on the filling and preparation. Moderation is key, particularly if paired with heavy sauces or fried versions. Its balance of nutrients, along with robust aromatic spices, makes Khinkali a flavorful addition to a meal while offering insights into the hearty, rustic cuisine of Georgia.
