- You know pizza, right? But have you heard of khachapuri? This cheese-filled bread is a national treasure for Georgians and one of their national dishes. They eat it at any time, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You could say that khachapuri is the Georgian version of pizza, but even more versatile, as it comes in 47 different varieties. For example, there is the boat-shaped Adzharian khachapuri, the version from Imereti, which is round and flat and topped with cheese. And Achma khachapuri has several layers, similar to a lasagne. Each type is typical of a particular region. In this video, we show you how ajarian khachaouri is made.

@@agengsatya96 aye... pineapple is a must for pizza
If the title of the video didn't mention Georgia, as an Indian I would have mistaken it as some kind of Puri (deep fried bread commonly made in India). Khachapuri looks equally mouth watering
Haha. Same here. And I was looking for this comment. 😄
I thought why would somebody name a food 'raw puri' 😂
then I saw it's from Georgia........
I was confused for a moment before I saw Georgia. 😂
Dude that's so cool Puri means Bread in Georgian
I'm south african and we also eat puri so I taught it was indian. We make normal puri like the one mentioned in comment, dhal puri(soft roti with dry dhal suffering in it)and even pani puri (dried pani puri) can be brought and fried at home, even banana puri and puri patha are tea time snacks
I sincerely hope one day the world would appreciate Georgian cuisine as much as it appreciates Italian, Mexican or Japanese. There is insane amount of amazing dishes and unique herbs and spices, which are so different from what people are widely used to.
Thanks for this video!
I agree. I hope all of the unique dishes of the world are someday appreciated. I
It's delicious food, but tacos are better and Mexican seafood dishes because of the variety of seafood is to die for.
Their wine too - on a sunny day I wish I could be sitting outside with a Khachapuri and some good Georgian wine! Heaven!
0.0
Agreed. I gave Georgian food a try and just fell in love with it. Not just khachapuri, khinkali and pkhtali, but also the bean stew, the chicken in walnut sauce…and oh my God, the bread. Add in some Georgian wine and its a feast.
I lived in Szczecin, Poland for the entire duration of the Pandemic. Within delivery distance was a Georgian restaurant, and once I discovered their cuisine, I think I spent over half my income on it....
You are Lucky there was not Chinese Restaurant 😂😂😂
I think it would be weird if you didn’t 🤣🤣🤣
@@shemeshvii Oh, there were plenty of Chinese restaurants. I vastly prefer Georgian cuisine, it would seem.
Smart like Pole !
-None said ever...
Georgian food is super tasty, I can’t say I blame you!
As a New Yorker I’ve had the pleasure of trying this dish on several occasions! It’s so delicious! Georgian cuisine is absolutely worth checking out if you’ve never had it, even beyond the Khachapuri. Everything is super well seasoned and very tasty. Honestly one of my favorite cuisines!
World needs to know Khachapuri, the Georgian hidden treasure. Well done!
Looks tasty and I may try it, but isn't this a salmonella hazard with the raw egg
@@Mark-pb4dn no, people are way to worried about salmonella in raw eggs. every (good) restaurant works with raw eggs in sauces i.e Mayo. People on the whole world eat raw eggs.
@@Mark-pb4dn salmonella is in the meat, the egg is enclosed but if you are unsure just wash the outside of the egg
Georgia is in the United States
@@simulationkoyo Yeah its also a State but this is regarding the country of Georgia in the Caucasus region
That's just the tip of the iceberg! Georgia is full of amazing bread creations- kubdari, lobiani, nazuki are all delicious. Then you find things in small villages like bread stuffed with pickled herbs and spices. I spent about 4 months in Georgia and can't wait to go back one day!
Then I have to avoid Georgia. I love bread. If I go, I won't be able to return on a flight from the weight gain. These dishes look so delicious.
@@moniqueuu8777 You might be surprised about that Overall their cuisine is pretty healthy, partly because they do a lot of slow authentic cooking. And it's a country of shepherds, so the meat/cheese is all free range grass fed.
@@moniqueuu8777, Western Georgia has many low-calorie vegan and vegetarian dishes, like Pkhali, Ghomi, and Lobio.
@@moniqueuu8777I lived in Georgia for about a year. I ate their bread almost every single day (the best bread I've ever had in my life). I lost weight during my time there even though I stuffed myself every day. The ingredients and food are so fresh and not stuffed with preservatives. I highly recommend their cuisine. ❤️

I'm Indian and I wish we had this in India. I've never had Khachapuri but I can tell the taste would be so good!! Georgia should be proud.
Bro be real, khachapuri just sounds like kacchapuri
@@zeusolympus1664 Exactly! The name would be mistaken for some variety of "puri" sold in Delhi or Mumbai streets! 😁
@@zeusolympus1664, _khacho_ means cottage cheese in Georgian, though.
So cheese Puri
@@haramimota8028, literally means "cheese-bread", yes.
My dear Georgian Neighbours, ı love you all and your awesome cuisine. Greetings from Turkey. We always welcome you here in Turkey
thank You brother ❤
Georgians have every right to be proud of the dish - its spectacular! Its now on my bucket list to visit and try as many varieties as I can.
Georgian cuisine is overall very flavourful and delicious, it deserves more recognition than it has now
I love Georgia and Georgian people. The interesting thing is how close Georgian and Corsican cultures are! Georgia is one of the gems on our planet.
The polyphonic singing of the two bears striking similarities 👌
I love Khachapuri! I found a restaurant near the PA Convention Center in Philadelphia and gave it a try. Way, way, better than pizza!
Kachapuri sounds like an indian classical dance form
Khachpuri with barbequed meat and a fresh tomato/onion salad. HEAVEN!
Sorry but that is not the idea of kachapuri😁meat and tomato nothing has to do with it🌸
My ancestors from Adjaria. I love Georgian cuisine.❤
Georgian cuisine looks so good! Would love to see it make its way to Portugal!
There is a Georgian restaurant in Lisbon called “Tree Story”
Georgian food and wine is amazing! A restaurant and a wine importer finally came to my country and I'm addicted!
I'm going to have to try and make this at home, you had me at egg and butter. I never knew Georgian and Americans were destined for brotherhood yet here we are. That looks seriously tasty.
Kajapuri in Kerala especially in Malabar side (India) is two different dishes; Kaja is a sweet and puri is a common breakfast 😊
I've visited Georgia a few times, lots of good food in that country. Khachapuri is great, my favorite Georgian diah is Kupati.
I learned of khachapuri a few years ago during covid and have been enjoying it a lot, one of the best comfort foods
I don't see how this and pizza are even being compared but ok. now Ima go get me a slice of pizza
The name of the dish sounds Indian but the ingredients are quintessential European. Can't wait to try it!
_Khacha_ comes from _khacho_ which means cottage cheese. The dish is not typically made from cottage cheese, though. It has nothing to do with "raw". Georgian isn't an Indo-European language. _Pur(i)_ (the _i_ letter at the end denotes a normative case) means bread in Georgian, and this one might have the same origin.
@@GeorgeGzirishviliThanks for explaining. Will definitely try it when visiting Georgia
The name of this dish is going to confuse every Indian. When I heard a westerner say 'I love kacha puri', i fell on the floor after laughing my heart out.
Wow!! What a similarity! In India Khachapuri means Raw Puri (Puri is a deep fried flatbread)
@@val-schaeffer1117 no I don't know wether my ancestors came from Caspian Steppes or not but I know 'khacha' and 'puri' both of these words are from Sanskrit (one of the oldest language (5000 BC) and the mother of all European language)
Hi there. That's fascinating, as a Georgian living in the UK I'm myself a big fan of Indian food, and eat it weekly. I used to think that Georgian word for bread, puri, came from either indian puri or a common ancestor word. But turns out it comes from ancient Greek puros, which means wheat. And Khacha in khachapuri is from the word khacho, which means cottage cheese. The ch in it isn't a ch but a Georgian letter which has no equivalent alphabetical letter in English.
But it is a fun coincidence that khachapuri in Sanskrit means raw bread. Having said all this, since, as I understand, both Greek and Sanskrit are Indo-European languages, I imagine that sanskrit puri and Greek puros have common ancestry.
@@Mr_Amit Not only that, i myself am Ukrainian Hindu, can confirm there are many Sanskrit words in Ukrainian language to this day !!
This again proves we Aryan North Indians came from Europe and settled in Indus valley and slowly penetrated the northern parts of India.
Indian is race. You know that ..right? @@val-schaeffer1117
LOVE FROM INDIA. PLEASE CONTINUE SHARING MORE VIDEOS ON GEORGIAN CUISINE.
Had Khachapuri in Sopot, was so good, I went back a year later.
I'd love to get ro Tibilisi one day.
I can eat all the times this food while visiting .... looks delicious.
I just looked up Georgian restaurants on google and apparently theres a street 15 minutes from me with like 10 Georgian restaurants! I guess a bunch of Georgian people moved here.
Awesome! Love the image of little villages each having their own special versions...& funny how he jokes with the fork.! I grew up in NYC pizza land & you'd never use one but sometimes people still try!!
That's because NYC pizza is limp and flaccid.
Lived in Georgia for 6yrs. Loved the Khachapuri made at Nikora. Kind of a pastry with cheese.
It's the cheese and the butter from the local livestock feeding on the plants of that beautiful Georgian countryside that makes is magnificent.
Very nice video and Georgia looks like a lovely place to visit 😊
And it is
That looks absolutely fantastic! I'm gonna have to try and make it.
i found a picture of it a while back and looked for a recipe with a similar picture so i could make it myself, i LOVED it!
As my compatriots mentioned below: "Khacho" and "Puri" means "Cottage cheese" and "Bread" in Georgian.
No one in Georgia was expected to call it "Invention" and we know that bread and cheese is not something unique that Georgians "discovered". There are many varieties of bread and cheese (Backed, cooked or fried) around the world but. What makes the difference is a Taste of each food. Believe me there is nothing same like Khachapuri somewhere else.
Pizza has already won, since everyone compares X dish to it. It's the golden standard. But godbless Georgians and their food
Thank you DW for this great program about our proud dish! (alongside Khinkali).
Very interesting, thanks for this interesting mini documentary.
It looks so beautiful,...it sure tastes delicious
lovely dish and lovely Video, thanks DW !
Great food and even greater people ❤
About 17 years ago I was traveling georgia. We were mostly in tiblisi there i had some adzharian khachapuri le me tell you It was amazing... still my favorite cheese-dish to this day, also there is this cheese they store in saltwater/brine which you can peel in strips, favorite cheese for me. Im very thankfull that I was able to visit georgia thanks to my teacher back in the days. Beautiful place, beautiful people.
The name of this cheese is Suluguni 😉 Russian born Miami local here )))
@@dens3096 Nice, thanks mate. Hope I can travel to Georgia some time again.
Love this! Voice over should state, ‘egg yolk’ and not ‘an egg’ as the chef did not use the white of the egg only the yolk. Great story!
It’s YT and free, get over it
'yolk'
Would love to watch series of documentary videos about Uzbek traditional cuisine. Just another Level.
I was watching that thumbnail reel before clicking that video thinking that this was about the US state of Georgia, wondering how come these Georgians love their state so much?
I had this while i was in Georgia and trust me it's delicious!!!!!
Looks delicious !
People that I've known from the former Soviet Union told me that Georgian food is legendary. I really want to try it some time.
As a person from former SU should say that depends. I am personally not a fan of Georgian cuisine. By the way, Adjarian khachapuri is really one of the best dishes. Also people love khinkali very much, but i prefer ravioli, pelmeni and of course Ukrainian varenyky.
Batumi is a geat city to visit and taste Georgian cuisine. Very nice people there, cosy city, chip food and a lot of hotels for any wallet.
@@olegkolot8913 I've been in many places in the Soviet Union and did not find a Georgian food except in Moscow, but did not taste much the same. Outside of Georgia, food does not taste the same because you need the Georgian ingridents, which are not avaialble in forign countries. Also, cheese have to be made in Georgia, not in Brooklyn, NY. I purchsed many years one in America and tasted terrible 🙂. Since the Soviet Union broke up, there are a bunch of Georgian restaurants, but not all of them is good. Depends on the business. There are hundreds of types of Georgian food. People know only Khachapuri and Khinkdali because they are easy to serve in a fast food restaurants. However, other types of food are not avaiable in restaurants. The best thing is to visit Georgian families, they make the best.
This needs to take off - it looks amazing
I have learn this resepy online and now serving for the breakfast in my B&B in Wales.
This dish and their wines are real good
I had this once at a Georgian restaurant in Germany, it was delicious!
Never had one or even seen it till this video but they look so good.
Had it as part of a Foodie tour in NY. Awesome but very filling.
I love the way he eat by hand
Oh, I'd really love to try it.
I have been there and ate those, phelovani, and normal khachapuri, and it has a unique taste of fresh local cheese. It represents their culture.
Phenovani Khachapuri is a best version. usually it's for street food version of khachapuri
😋🍲🥘Every time you use the word 'healthy,' you lose. The key is to make yummy, delicious food that happens to be healthy.💝💯👋👌
So delicious! More Georgian or Caucasus region foods please.! Judging from this, they must know how to make delicious food.
What are Caucasus food?
Looks delish!!!
I made it myself once. It's delicious. I just need to find a Georgian restaurant near me for it
The boat shaped version reminds me of some delicious Turkish pide I had.
Yes pide is like many other dishes that claimed to be „turkish“ just a copy of the regional Anatolian, Armenian, Greek, Caucasian, Semetic and Kurdish dishes that turks stole
@@uguryzg liar
i initially thought khachapuri was an anglicized pronunciation of some indian Roti, amazed that Georgian's use the word puri too.. in India puri is a type of deep fried wheat bread mostly eaten with mashed potato gravy (called paalyaa). lazy cooks like me make a similar food like this khachapuri with toasted bread or bun where we remove the centre and put the egg (half boiled sunny side up or scrambled) and top it off with shredded cheese (kraft cheddar mostly as its the only cheese available in my town next to amul processed cheese), but i do get that the taste will be way different to this khachapuri :).. also loved how the chef knew a lot of history of his people too.. good job on that and good humour sense leaving the cutlery aside and eating with hands :D
the main part of the taste it's special cheese blend whitch gives completly unique experience
Hahaha, love his explanation of how to eat it!
just had it today...proper!
Bro In India we have Aloo Puri, Dahi Puri, Sev Puri etc. etc....😁😁😁😁😁
I love it!!
If I ever have a chance to go there, I will certainly try it!
That literally made my mouth water
In the Subcontinent aka Pakistan, India and Bangladesh aka the Desi cuisine, it's called Cheese Paratha.
Georgia cuisine is absolutely delicious ❤
mmmm it looks so delicious!!!!!!
I've travelled from east to west in Georgia and have tried at least 4 types of khatchapuri. I still love the one that has cheese inside of it. I don't know what that one is called though, but I would buy it for about 2 lari in Batumi. So delish!!
Well done. Now i want one
I had 2 versions of khachapuri in a Georgean restaurant in St. Petersburg and it was awesome!
It really is the best looking thing ever, peak food
It looks yummy and it does have an Indian sounding name!
How can such similarity with name( it has Sanskrit root) can exist is between these two far apart countries is really a wonder...
Pretty sure the first word is a false cognate. _Khacha_ comes from _khacho_ which means cottage cheese. The dish is not typically made from cottage cheese, though. It has nothing to do with "raw". Georgian isn't an Indo-European language. _Pur(i)_ (the _i_ letter at the end denotes a normative case) means bread in Georgian, and this one might have the same origin.
@@hibudy humankind is far more connected than some would like to believe :)
As far as I'm concerned, the Georgian capital's name is Tbilisi, not "Tiblisi"
Sure
It was called Tiflis in the XIX century though
Srry, englsh isnt md fr snds tht jmp frm one cnsnnt to anthr
Nobody cares what you’re concerned about. Relax.
Don't get upset. Some things are hard to pronounce in other languages. I don't care one but that some forigenrs call my city Munich or Monaco di Bavaria instead of München.
Looks very good
Never had this dish made by a Georgia but there's lots of Armenians where I live and their version is pretty damn good. It's literally Caucasian food which is fun.
Thank you DW for intruducing Khachapuri to the world....
But You should dedicate one video to king of the Georgian dishes - Food of the gods and royaltys - which is chakapuli 🍲😍 ❤❤❤ 😍
Looks delicious af and I want it NOW! ._.
Had this in Serbia, it’s amazing
Неймовірна смакота цієї чудової країни❤
Ukrainians are digging Georgian food. So many Georgian places in Odesa.. that’s where I got my fist Adjar Khachapuri. We love Georgia 🇺🇦🫶🏻🇬🇪
Excelente video genial 😁 👍
I have this every time i visit georgia .
"We take fork and knife and then put them aside" =)
looked delicious
In Greece we call it Peinirli (its turkish name). It's relatively popular here.
Chefs, cooks, bakers, and kitchen workers after having actual intelligence and/or proler knowledge calls it an Ancient Persian Greek Pita Pie Pizza Edible Bowl Plate variety. Those edible bowl plate bread has been since ancient era and very much pizza.
A variation of this dish named Peinirli is quite famous in Greece, most likely brought by ethnic Greeks that emigrated from the wider Caucasus region
Looks fabulous. If we wanted to try and make this dish in Australia; what types of cheese work best? Does anybody know?
cheese and bread is typical, the real greate thing about this is the type of cheese, its fantastic with bread.
Oh that is cool
Khachapuri is my favourite 🤩🤩
I'm Georgian and I can eat this all day😊😊😊
Yes.
First time I’ve heard of this dish, looks amazing. I don’t if I’ll have an opportunity to visit Georgia, but I’m definitely going to try making this at home. Can’t really go wrong with bread and cheese. Not sure where to find Georgian cheese in Arizona though.
Khachapuri consist of two kind of cheese - imeretian cheese and suluguni. You can use cottage cheese instead of imeretian and mazarella instead of suluguni.
@@user-oj7ct4lt4x Thanks for the tip!
