Khinkali for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Khinkali for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The nutty and aromatic profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced adjika pepper paste used that way before.

the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with formal toasts guided by a tamada toastmaster. I explained the a traditional Georgian supra feast context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. tkhemali sauce was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
