What it is
A hearty, regional dish consisting of rustic cheese balls made from a blend of traditional Georgian cheeses (such as fresh Imeruli, Dambalkhacho, or Sulguni), often mixed with fresh herbs like mint or dill, and sometimes a hint of garlic. These flavorful cheese balls are pan-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a warm, melted interior.

Optional tweaks
