This pie is true comfort in every crumb, perfect for family gatherings or friendly get-togethers. It can be served as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to traditional soups and meat dishes. The aroma of fresh baking and warm, rich taste make it an unforgettable culinary experience that transports you to the atmosphere of Georgian hospitality.
