Khinkali (Georgian Dumplings) at the Canopy Market by Georgian Cuisine Ltd (khinkali House)

My geography is bad so I've never heard of a country called Georgia until today when I tried a Georgian dumpling called Khinkali.

Visually it looks like a Xiaolongbao but bigger like a garlic bulb and a thick stalk.

The fillings are either beef, mushrooms or cheese so I tried cheese to compare it to a Nepalese momo dumpling which look visually similar but the Nepalese one is smaller and can be steamed or fried.

The cheese used in the Khinkali was a blend so I found it a bit too heavy and creamy but had a nice cheese pull.

100% Cheddar would have been nice but that's my English palate.

Overall, I am glad I tried.

This calls for a visit to Little Georgia, Islington.
