Chvishtari | Traditional Corn Bread From Samegrelo-Upper Svaneti, Georgia | TasteAtlas

Chvishtari

(Chishdvaar, Tchvishtari, ჭვიშტარი)

Chvishtari is a traditional cornbread originating from Svaneti. It's usually made with a combination of cornflour, milk, eggs, oil, salt, and sulguni cheese. The dough is kneaded with the cheese until it becomes firm and smooth. It is then flattened and cooked on both sides in a greased frying pan over medium heat until lightly golden.


It's recommended to eat chivshtari on the same day that it was made, preferably while still hot.
