Georgian Mchadi
Mchadi are traditional Georgian cornbread patties, often made with cornmeal, water, and salt, then pan-fried until golden brown and slightly crispy. They are a staple, especially in western Georgia, and are commonly served with cheese or as a side dish.
🧂 Składniki
- 2 cups Cornmeal(medium grind)
- 1.5 cups Hot water(or as needed)
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil(for frying)
👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal and salt.
⏱️ 1 minute - 2
Gradually pour in the hot water while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until a thick, cohesive dough forms. The consistency should be firm enough to shape but still moist.
⏱️ 3 minutes💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: If the dough is too dry, add a little more hot water, one tablespoon at a time. If it's too wet, add a little more cornmeal. - 3
Let the dough rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the cornmeal to absorb the water.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Shape the mchadi: Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take about 1/4 cup of dough and flatten it into a patty about 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches in diameter.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Heat the oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 6
Fry the mchadi: Carefully place the mchadi patties into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
⏱️ 15 minutes💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Adjust the heat as needed to ensure they cook through without burning. - 7
Drain and serve: Remove the mchadi from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
