🇬🇪 Georgia recipe

Mchadi

Mchadi is the simple, golden cornbread of Georgia, a daily staple especially in western regions where corn has been a dietary foundation for centuries. Made from just white cornmeal, water, and salt, these thick patties are pan-fried until they develop a shattering crust while remaining dense and slightly crumbly inside. Mchadi is the essential companion to lobio bean stew and fresh sulguni cheese, forming a trio that is the backbone of the Georgian table.
