Add Chvishtari (Corn bread with cheese) to your favourite list of the dishes

Chvistari (also called chishdvaar) is cornbread with cheese from Georgia’s Svaneti region. It is also popular in the Samegrelo region.

The main ingredients are slightly salty cheese (Sulguni) from the west part of Georgia and cornflour.

In case you are not successful to find Georgian cheese Sulguni abroad, I would recommend trying a combination of feta and mozzarella.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of cornflour.
