Baked Hinkali
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Since recently I've been cooking almost everything in the oven—because, in my opinion, it makes any dish tastier—I couldn't skip Georgian cuisine either. In this recipe, I'll show you how to make hinkali in the oven. Of course, this method isn't traditional, but if people fry hinkali, why not bake them on a bed of tomatoes with a fragrant cheesy topping? And if you use homemade hinkali instead of store-bought ones for this simple recipe, the result will be absolutely amazing. Just give it a try. Serve hot.

Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 180 degrees and bake the khinkali for about 20–25 minutes. Once the dish develops a fragrant, cheesy crust, remove it from the oven and transfer the khinkali onto individual plates. Enjoy your meal!
