Chanakhi is a hearty Georgian stew made with lamb, eggplant, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. The stew is typically flavored and seasoned with coriander, basil, pepper, and salt. This flavorful dish is traditionally served in individual clay pots, called chanakhi, hence the name.

It is believed that chanakhi tastes even better if reheated the next day, when all of the flavors have been thoroughly combined.
