What's Khinkali?
While most cultures have some form of dumplings or buns, Khinkali dumplings in Georgia are particularly tasty and beautiful. Soft pockets of food are usually salty, full of cheese mixtures or spicy masses.

Although immersion sauces may be used, they are generally not necessary. The inner broth of dumplings makes them quite juicy and wet without the need for sauce.
