So, how to make Avar Hinkal?
First boil the meat. The amount of meat is calculated based on the number of eaters. Usually, the more meat, the better: and everyone will get it, and the broth will be rich and tasty. In the water with meat, as it boils, add the stalks of greens (the leaves will be useful in the future), a whole onion, salt to taste, and at the end of cooking pepper.
We knead the dough for the khinkal: in flour with soda and salt we begin to pour kefir, and knead a steep dough. The amount of flour is given approximately. You need to knead as much flour as "take" the dough. Now the little bunny should rest a little, and we begin to prepare the sauce.
We chop the tomatoes in puree. We warm up, as it should, butter and fry tomato puree with salt and spices on it, until the mass is doubled. Then add chopped leaves of greenery (so they are useful). In the sauce bowl we put the pressed garlic, pour the sauce and add a couple of spoonfuls of cold water.
Meat is already cooked, we pull it out. Now on this broth we will cook khinkali.
The dough is rolled into a layer about a centimeter thick and cut into diamonds with a side of about 3 cm. Cook in boiling
