Khinkal in Dagestan style

Khinkal is a traditional Caucasian dish. It is often confused with such a famous Georgian dish as khinkali. And, although the set of products in both dishes is quite similar, they are nevertheless different. Traditionally, khinkal is prepared on the basis of beef or lamb. A rich meat broth is cooked. Dough is kneaded, from which "khinkali" are made. Depending on the region, their shape may be different. Khinkal is usually served with sour cream-garlic or tomato sauce.

Yes, you can substitute beef with chicken for a lighter broth. Cook chicken for about 1 hour instead of 1.5–2 hours to avoid overcooking.
You can use a gluten-free flour blend in place of wheat flour. Ensure it contains a binder like xanthan gum for proper texture.
Store the dough and broth separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat broth on the stove and steam or microwave the dough gently.
Yes, replace the beef broth with vegetable broth and omit the meat. Add hearty vegetables like mushrooms for extra flavor.
