Cooking Tips:
- Make sure the dough is not too dry or too wet. It should be soft and pliable.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to the desired thickness.
- Make sure the filling is well mixed and evenly distributed.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and warm water until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the mushrooms, cheese, onion, cilantro, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic powder.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each part into a thin circle.
5. Cut the circles into 4-inch rounds.
6. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each round.
7. Fold the edges of the round up to create a pouch, pinching the edges together to seal the filling inside.
8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
9. Carefully drop the khinkali into the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
