Khinkal

At the base of the numerous variations on khinkali are unmixed cooked pieces of dough of this or that form, a boiled piece of meat, and the broth from the meat, served separately. It is thought that this is how Chaban herders in the mountains cooked for themselves – they boiled the lamb separately and then cut it into pieces, cooked the pieces of dough separately, and ate everything with sips of broth from the meat.
