Directions

1
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and water to form a smooth dough. Knead for about 10 minutes.
2
Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes while preparing the filling.
3
In a separate bowl, mix ground beef, onion, parsley, cilantro, garlic, black pepper, and cumin until well combined.
4
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles with a diameter of about 4 inches.
5
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle and carefully fold the edges to form pleats.
6
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the khinkali for about 10-12 minutes until they float.
7
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve hot, garnished with extra herbs.
