  • First, make the dough: sift the flour, add the baking soda and salt, and pour in the kefir (or homemade soured milk). Knead the dough—it should be fairly stiff, but not too stiff. Let it rest for 40 minutes. Now for the meat: boil the chicken breast in salted water until cooked through. Break it into pieces—you can shred it by hand. And the final step: roll the rested dough into a sheet a bit thicker than 1/4 inch (over 0.5 cm) and cut it into squares or diamonds. Drop them into boiling chicken broth and cook until done. Divide the cooked dough pieces and meat among the bowls. Don't forget to prick each diamond of dough with a fork to keep it from turning tough and dark. Serve the thin khinkal with tomato or sour cream sauce and garlic, sprinkled with finely chopped herbs. Eat the khinkal and wash it down with the broth. Enjoy!
