If the title of the video didn't mention Georgia, as an Indian I would have mistaken it as some kind of Puri (deep fried bread commonly made in India). Khachapuri looks equally mouth watering
I'm south african and we also eat puri so I taught it was indian. We make normal puri like the one mentioned in comment, dhal puri(soft roti with dry dhal suffering in it)and even pani puri (dried pani puri) can be brought and fried at home, even banana puri and puri patha are tea time snacks
I sincerely hope one day the world would appreciate Georgian cuisine as much as it appreciates Italian, Mexican or Japanese. There is insane amount of amazing dishes and unique herbs and spices, which are so different from what people are widely used to. Thanks for this video!
Agreed. I gave Georgian food a try and just fell in love with it. Not just khachapuri, khinkali and pkhtali, but also the bean stew, the chicken in walnut sauce…and oh my God, the bread. Add in some Georgian wine and its a feast.
As a New Yorker I’ve had the pleasure of trying this dish on several occasions! It’s so delicious! Georgian cuisine is absolutely worth checking out if you’ve never had it, even beyond the Khachapuri. Everything is super well seasoned and very tasty. Honestly one of my favorite cuisines!
I lived in Szczecin, Poland for the entire duration of the Pandemic. Within delivery distance was a Georgian restaurant, and once I discovered their cuisine, I think I spent over half my income on it....
That's just the tip of the iceberg! Georgia is full of amazing bread creations- kubdari, lobiani, nazuki are all delicious. Then you find things in small villages like bread stuffed with pickled herbs and spices. I spent about 4 months in Georgia and can't wait to go back one day!
@@moniqueuu8777 You might be surprised about that Overall their cuisine is pretty healthy, partly because they do a lot of slow authentic cooking. And it's a country of shepherds, so the meat/cheese is all free range grass fed.

@@Mark-pb4dn no, people are way to worried about salmonella in raw eggs. every (good) restaurant works with raw eggs in sauces i.e Mayo. People on the whole world eat raw eggs.
My husband and I had our vacation for 2 weeks in Georgia in 2016. We really enjoyed everything, from food to shopping, people's warmth, accommodation, nature, sulfur bath, everything is affordable with very good quality and experience! We would love to come back there!!❤❤🇲🇦🇵🇭
I'm going to have to try and make this at home, you had me at egg and butter. I never knew Georgian and Americans were destined for brotherhood yet here we are. That looks seriously tasty.
Absolutely love Georgian cuisine, especially Khachapuri and Khinkali. Definitely worth the long trip from the United States (plus Tbilisi is a gem of a city). Enjoyed it so much I have made Khachapuri at home.
I think like Italians aren't dumb enough to say pizza is better than khachapuri, Georgians aren't dumb enough to say khachapuri is better than pizza. The media is dumb enough though.
About 17 years ago I was traveling georgia. We were mostly in tiblisi there i had some adzharian khachapuri le me tell you It was amazing... still my favorite cheese-dish to this day, also there is this cheese they store in saltwater/brine which you can peel in strips, favorite cheese for me. Im very thankfull that I was able to visit georgia thanks to my teacher back in the days. Beautiful place, beautiful people.
As a person from former SU should say that depends. I am personally not a fan of Georgian cuisine. By the way, Adjarian khachapuri is really one of the best dishes. Also people love khinkali very much, but i prefer ravioli, pelmeni and of course Ukrainian varenyky. Batumi is a geat city to visit and taste Georgian cuisine. Very nice people there, cosy city, chip food and a lot of hotels for any wallet.
@@olegkolot8913 I've been in many places in the Soviet Union and did not find a Georgian food except in Moscow, but did not taste much the same. Outside of Georgia, food does not taste the same because you need the Georgian ingridents, which are not avaialble in forign countries. Also, cheese have to be made in Georgia, not in Brooklyn, NY. I purchsed many years one in America and tasted terrible 🙂. Since the Soviet Union broke up, there are a bunch of Georgian restaurants, but not all of them is good. Depends on the business. There are hundreds of types of Georgian food. People know only Khachapuri and Khinkdali because they are easy to serve in a fast food restaurants. However, other types of food are not avaiable in restaurants. The best thing is to visit Georgian families, they make the best.
Awesome! Love the image of little villages each having their own special versions...& funny how he jokes with the fork.! I grew up in NYC pizza land & you'd never use one but sometimes people still try!!
_Khacha_ comes from _khacho_ which means cottage cheese. The dish is not typically made from cottage cheese, though. It has nothing to do with "raw". Georgian isn't an Indo-European language. _Pur(i)_ (the _i_ letter at the end denotes a normative case) means bread in Georgian, and this one might have the same origin.
I was watching that thumbnail reel before clicking that video thinking that this was about the US state of Georgia, wondering how come these Georgians love their state so much?
I had Kachapuri at a Georgian restaurant on a trip to New York two months ago and absolutely loved it. However the mixing of the egg and molten cheese was done by the waiter on our table in a rather dramatic fashion. And eating with figures was so typical for me as an Indian.
@@val-schaeffer1117 no I don't know wether my ancestors came from Caspian Steppes or not but I know 'khacha' and 'puri' both of these words are from Sanskrit (one of the oldest language (5000 BC) and the mother of all European language)
Hi there. That's fascinating, as a Georgian living in the UK I'm myself a big fan of Indian food, and eat it weekly. I used to think that Georgian word for bread, puri, came from either indian puri or a common ancestor word. But turns out it comes from ancient Greek puros, which means wheat. And Khacha in khachapuri is from the word khacho, which means cottage cheese. The ch in it isn't a ch but a Georgian letter which has no equivalent alphabetical letter in English. But it is a fun coincidence that khachapuri in Sanskrit means raw bread. Having said all this, since, as I understand, both Greek and Sanskrit are Indo-European languages, I imagine that sanskrit puri and Greek puros have common ancestry.
Georgia in general has an absolutely rich culture (food is part of the culture) which is unbelievable since they went through hundreds years of russian imperialist domination, managed to conserve the language, the wearings, the food, the dancings 👏🏻👏🏻
Don't get upset. Some things are hard to pronounce in other languages. I don't care one but that some forigenrs call my city Munich or Monaco di Bavaria instead of München.
I just looked up Georgian restaurants on google and apparently theres a street 15 minutes from me with like 10 Georgian restaurants! I guess a bunch of Georgian people moved here.
I've travelled from east to west in Georgia and have tried at least 4 types of khatchapuri. I still love the one that has cheese inside of it. I don't know what that one is called though, but I would buy it for about 2 lari in Batumi. So delish!!
As my compatriots mentioned below: "Khacho" and "Puri" means "Cottage cheese" and "Bread" in Georgian. No one in Georgia was expected to call it "Invention" and we know that bread and cheese is not something unique that Georgians "discovered". There are many varieties of bread and cheese (Backed, cooked or fried) around the world but. What makes the difference is a Taste of each food. Believe me there is nothing same like Khachapuri somewhere else.
The name of this dish is going to confuse every Indian. When I heard a westerner say 'I love kacha puri', i fell on the floor after laughing my heart out.
Khachapuri is absolutely delicious but it has nothing to do with Italian pizza. You cannot compare the two. They are both delicious dishes on their own merits.
ordered it in a Georgian resturant not knowing what it was. Abso-bloody-lutely delicious. But don't expect to need any more food for the rest of the day.
Thank you DW for intruducing Khachapuri to the world.... But You should dedicate one video to king of the Georgian dishes - Food of the gods and royaltys - which is chakapuli 🍲😍 ❤❤❤ 😍
First time I’ve heard of this dish, looks amazing. I don’t if I’ll have an opportunity to visit Georgia, but I’m definitely going to try making this at home. Can’t really go wrong with bread and cheese. Not sure where to find Georgian cheese in Arizona though.
Khachapuri consist of two kind of cheese - imeretian cheese and suluguni. You can use cottage cheese instead of imeretian and mazarella instead of suluguni.
i initially thought khachapuri was an anglicized pronunciation of some indian Roti, amazed that Georgian's use the word puri too.. in India puri is a type of deep fried wheat bread mostly eaten with mashed potato gravy (called paalyaa). lazy cooks like me make a similar food like this khachapuri with toasted bread or bun where we remove the centre and put the egg (half boiled sunny side up or scrambled) and top it off with shredded cheese (kraft cheddar mostly as its the only cheese available in my town next to amul processed cheese), but i do get that the taste will be way different to this khachapuri :).. also loved how the chef knew a lot of history of his people too.. good job on that and good humour sense leaving the cutlery aside and eating with hands :D
Pretty sure the first word is a false cognate. _Khacha_ comes from _khacho_ which means cottage cheese. The dish is not typically made from cottage cheese, though. It has nothing to do with "raw". Georgian isn't an Indo-European language. _Pur(i)_ (the _i_ letter at the end denotes a normative case) means bread in Georgian, and this one might have the same origin.
Medium moisture mozzarella and feta mix produce good taste. It is not very similar to the suluguni/imeruli mix in the original recipe, but it makes a tasty khachapuri none the less, you can think of it as a regional variation, Americuli khachapuri.
How would this be compared with pizza? They are obviously 2 very different things. I've never tried Khachapuri and I am sure I'd love it, but why would you put a pizza in the same sentence?
I have. My friend is from Georgia. His mother made us some. It was really good. The rest didn't bother. Disgraceful. People just don't know whats good food. You know what I'm talking about. Hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza.

Georgian cuisine is overall very flavourful and delicious, it deserves more recognition than it has now
I love Khachapuri! I found a restaurant near the PA Convention Center in Philadelphia and gave it a try. Way, way, better than pizza!
Georgians have every right to be proud of the dish - its spectacular! Its now on my bucket list to visit and try as many varieties as I can.

How fascinating,...In India, Puri refers to bread.....but fried in oil
Nothing beats Neapolitan pizza
How would this be compared with pizza? They are obviously 2 very different things. I've never tried Khachapuri and I am sure I'd love it, but why would you put a pizza in the same sentence?
