Knead the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1.25 cups water.
Knead the dough for 10 minutes and rest it for 30 minutes.
Chop the onion and cilantro very finely.
Mix the ground beef, onion, cilantro, red pepper flakes, black pepper, remaining salt, and half a cup of water.
Divide the dough into balls and roll out 12 cm thin rounds.
Place filling on each round and gather the edges into pleats to make a top knot.
Boil the khinkali in salted boiling water for 8 minutes until they float.
Serve hot with black pepper, taking the first bite carefully so the broth does not spill.
💡 Tip: Loosening the filling with water creates hot broth inside the khinkali after cooking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with black pepper, holding the top knot while eating.
