This dish is a type of dumpling that is filled with a mixture of beef, tomato, and fragrant spices.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water

To start, mix together the ground beef, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
Next, make the dough for the khinkali. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add in the warm water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the beef and tomato mixture in the center of each circle.
To shape the khinkali, bring the edges of the dough up around the filling and twist to seal. Pinch the top of the khinkali to create a small knob. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
To cook the khinkali, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the khinkali into the water and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
Serve the Beef and Tomato Khinkali with Fragrant Spices hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or main course and is sure to impress your guests with its unique flavor and texture.
