What is Fried Khinkali?

Fried Khinkali, crispy Georgian dumplings

Experience the delightful crunch of our fried khinkali Sacramento—a unique take on the classic Georgian soup dumpling. Unlike the traditional boiled version, our pan fried khinkali offers a crispy, golden exterior while retaining its juicy, flavorful interior. Each khinkali is meticulously handcrafted with over 20 delicate pleats of dough, encasing a perfectly seasoned blend of beef and pork.

The secret to our superior fried khinkali lies in the cooking technique. After being gently boiled to perfection, the khinkali are carefully transferred to a hot pan, where their bottoms are seared until golden brown. This crucial step creates a tantalizing crispy crust, locking in the rich, aromatic broth and tender meat filling. The contrast between the crispy bottom and the soft, doughy top makes for an unforgettable culinary experience that sets our fried khinkali apart.

Our Handmade Khinkali Process

At Yerevan Sac, every single khinkali, whether boiled or fried, is a testament to our dedication to authentic Georgian cuisine. Our chefs hand-pleat each dumpling, ensuring the distinctive "kudi" (knot) at the top remains intact, perfect for holding as you savor the delicious broth within. We use only the freshest, high-quality ingredients for our fillings, promising a taste that transports you straight to the Caucasus.
