Elarji from millet according to the old Georgian recipe

Elardji is a traditional dish of Georgian cuisine known for its gooey consistency and rich cheese flavor. The classic version uses corn flour, but this old Georgian recipe offers millet, giving the dish a softer texture. Historically, elardji was made in western Georgia, especially in the Samegrelo regions where sulguni cheese is an important element of local cuisine. This version combines two types of sulguni: classic and smoked, making the flavor deeper and more aromatic. Delicate butter and fresh mint complement the cheesy delight with subtle creamy and refreshing notes. Elardji is perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to meat and vegetables. Its gooey structure makes each bite particularly enjoyable and unforgettable.
