Georgian Typical Food Review

Chicken Tabaka

Chicken tabaka is one of the most famous dishes in Georgia. This dish is made from chicken that is fried using a certain technique in a traditional wok, namely tapa.

The technique used when cooking is quite unique. One needs to flatten the chicken over the pan and then press it down with weights. When the technique is done correctly, the chicken will be crispy on the outside but soft and moist on the inside.

Wow, imagine how crunchy and juicy the chicken is when you bite it. Yum! To make it more complete, this dish is served with rice or fried potatoes.

Mtsvadi

Mtsvadi is a traditional food made from shish kebabs on skewers. The manufacturing process is to marinate the meat in a mixture of lemon juice, pomegranate juice, tarragon, salt, pepper, and chopped onions to produce tender and juicy meat when grilled later.

The meat used usually uses pork, goat or beef. This dish is even more delicious when accompanied by tkemali plum sauce, raw onion rings, sliced tomatoes, and pomegranate seeds.
