Traditional Georgian KHINKALI

Khinkali come from the mountain areas of Georgia where our ancestors started to cook them.
Nowadays you can find the whole variety of khinkali in Georgian restaurants, they serve khinkali with mushrooms, cheese, greenery, but it is marketing. The true khinkali can only be made with beef and pork. A bit of fat (tail or beef) can be added.
The dough has to be tough but stretchy.
