Georgian dumplings
Description
The recipe won't take much time. These dumplings are juicy, filling, and incredibly cheesy! They are easy to prepare and turn out fantastically delicious! You can use one type of cheese—I used sulguni—or two types at once. Adyghe or any similar cheese works perfectly. Serve hot.
