Fitchi
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Fitchi is traditionally made in special round molds, but if you don't have those, use a regular metal pan with a diameter of 20 cm. The filling for fitchi is quite unique—besides the usual minced meat and chopped onion, it also includes kefir, which makes the filling incredibly delicious. Believe me, you've never tasted anything like this before. Be sure to write down the recipe so you can try it. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
