Chanakhi
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Chakhokhbili is a well-known dish of Georgian national cuisine, which for some reason was very popular in Soviet canteens. Although what was served in canteens wasn't really close to the authentic chakhokhbili. True connoisseurs of Georgian cuisine might dispute the authenticity of my recipe as well, but in any case, it's very close to what Georgians call chakhokhbili :) Good luck. Serve hot.
