Is there a substitute for Dzira (Georgian Caraway) in Khinkali?
I have been looking up Khinkali recipes online and from my research it would seem that authentic Georgian Khinkali make use of a spice called dzira. Since it is sometimes referred to as "Georgian Caraway" I am wondering if I can substitute regular caraway for it?
I live in New York City, and I have never seen Dzira in any of the spice shops that I have visited.

What are Khinkali made of?
There are several kinds of Khinkali. Typical varieties have stuffing made from cheese, mushrooms, lamb or potato, but the most common is a meaty stuffing made with pork and beef. Once fully cooked, the meaty stuffing releases a rich broth into the center of the dumpling.How long do you cook Khinkali?
Carefully place the dumplings into a deep pan of boiling salty water, about 10-15 at a time (depending on the size of your pan). Boil for 12 to 14 minutes. If the dough has been made properly the dumplings will not burst. Serving: Khinkali are served hot with no garnish other than black pepper.Khinkali - Georgian Dumplings
