Layered khinkal

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, make a well in the center and add sugar, salt and yeast.

2. STEP 2

   

   First, add a little warm water (about 50-70 ml) and mix the yeast and water in the well with a spoon until it dissolves. This way they work better in the test.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add the remaining water and knead the dough with your hands, soft and pleasant to the touch.

4. STEP 4

   

   We transfer the dough to the table and, gradually seasoning our hands with oil, butter the dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   Let the dough rise for about half an hour if the kitchen is warm. If it fits, knead it and wait for it to fit a second time. If it dries, lubricate it with oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the dough has risen, dust the table well with flour and roll out the dough, first dividing it into 4 parts for convenience.

7. STEP 7

   

   The thinner you roll it out, the better. Now grease the dough with oil (with a brush, or better yet, with your hands).

8. STEP 8

   

   Roll the dough into a roll, not too tightly. It is convenient to start rolling by placing a thin stick (a wooden skewer or a knitting needle, for example) on the edge.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the resulting roll into square cylinders.

10. STEP 10

    

    You can cook lying down (this is about rolls), or you can form roses by pinching them on one side.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the khinkal on the mesh of a steamer and leave to rise for 15 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place on steam and cook for 15-20 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    For the sauce, peel and coarsely chop the garlic.

14. STEP 14

    

    We pass it through a garlic press.

15. STEP 15

    

    Salt, add sour cream and mix. The sauce is ready!

16. STEP 16

    

    Khinkal too!

17. STEP 17

    

    We take it out onto a plate and serve it to the table!

18. STEP 18

    

    Kumyks serve boiled homemade sausages with khinkal.

19. STEP 19

    

    And another khinkal in a frying pan (there are potatoes, meat and the top layer of khinkal).

20. STEP 20

    

    And also flatbreads made with yogurt, which are prepared and turned out just right only in the Kumyk national oven.

21. STEP 21

    

    This is such a beautiful khinkal!

22. STEP 22

    

    And the table is like a holiday one, right?
