Khinkali (Georgian:ხინკალი) 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.

When President George Bush visited Georgia in 2005 he ate five khinkali.

Khinklis Sakhli is a popular khinkali restaurant in Tbilisi.
