Frequently Asked Questions About Georgian dumplings
What are Georgian dumplings called?
Georgian dumplings are commonly called khinkali. They are large, pleated dough parcels filled most often with seasoned meat and broth, then boiled and served hot.
How do Georgian dumplings differ from Chinese dumplings?
Georgian dumplings are typically larger and contain broth inside the meat filling, so they are eaten carefully to drink the liquid first. Chinese dumplings vary widely, but are often smaller and may be steamed, pan-fried, or served with dipping sauce.
How do you eat Georgian dumplings?
Pick up a Georgian dumpling by its pleated top, bite a small opening, and carefully sip the hot broth inside before eating the rest. The thicker dough knob is commonly left on the plate rather than eaten.
What is inside Georgian dumplings?
Traditional Georgian dumplings are usually filled with minced meat, onion, seasoning, and a little liquid that becomes broth as they cook. Recipes may use different meats and spices, while vegetarian versions use fillings such as mushrooms or cheese.
Why do Georgian dumplings have broth inside?
The broth forms when liquid in the seasoned meat filling heats inside the tightly sealed dough parcel. A firm pleated closure helps keep it from leaking, which is why the dumplings are handled gently while cooking.
How do you cook frozen Georgian dumplings?
Cook frozen Georgian dumplings straight from the freezer in a large pot of gently boiling salted water; do not thaw them first. Stir carefully so they do not stick, and continue boiling until the dough is tender and the meat filling is cooked through.
How do you make the dough for Georgian dumplings?
Georgian dumpling dough is made from flour, water, and salt, kneaded until firm and smooth, then rested before rolling. It needs to be sturdy enough to hold the juicy filling without tearing, but thin enough to cook through.
What do you serve with Georgian dumplings?
Serve Georgian dumplings hot and simply, often with black pepper rather than a heavy sauce. A fresh salad, pickled vegetables, or herbs can round out the meal without covering up the dumplings’ seasoned meat and broth.
Can you freeze Georgian dumplings?
Yes, freeze uncooked Georgian dumplings on a tray in a single layer until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Boil them from frozen; freezing cooked dumplings can make the dough softer and more likely to split.
How long do leftover Georgian dumplings last in the fridge?
Cooked Georgian dumplings keep for up to 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Reheat them until steaming hot throughout; a gentle reheat helps limit splitting and keeps the broth from spilling out.

What is Georgian dumplings?
Georgian dumplings are large, pleated parcels of dough filled traditionally with seasoned meat, from Georgia’s distinctive khinkali tradition. Their dough turns tender as they cook, while the filling stays juicy and often creates a little broth inside.
They are usually served hot, simply dusted with black pepper rather than covered in sauce. Diners often hold one by its pinched top, bite carefully and sip the broth before finishing the dumpling. They bring protein as well as a substantial amount of dough-based carbohydrates, and can be fairly salty. A fresh salad alongside makes for a lighter meal; in Turkey, don’t assume they are served like local mantı with yogurt.
