Photographer’s Note
Khinkali are Georgian dumplings filled with various fillings, but usually spiced meat. They are eaten plain, or with coarse black pepper. The top, where the pleats meet, is tough and sometimes not eaten, but discarded to the plate so that those eating can count how many they have consumed. This top is called the "kudi" or hat. The towns of Dusheti, Pasanauri and Mtskheta are particularly famous for their khinkali.

Hi,
What a coincidence, we have a similar dish prevalent in the mountain region of India. It is called Momo. It is serves with a very hot sauce made of red chillies and a bowl of bland soup.
You made me hungry but it is very late in the night in my country now.
