30 minutes

Corn flatbreads mchadi are one of the most traditional Georgian dishes, rooted in the deep history of Georgia's mountainous regions. They have a crispy crust and a soft, slightly crumbly texture inside. In this recipe variation, the addition of beans and fresh herbs gives the flatbreads a light spiciness and delicate plant aroma. Mchadi is usually served with sulguni cheese, tkemali or adjika, but they can also be used as a standalone dish or side. Due to their simplicity in preparation and natural ingredients, they are perfect for those who appreciate healthy food and authentic flavors of Georgian cuisine.
