I am glad I found your channel. I visited Georgia last year in December and I was very surprised to find great similarities in some of the dishes with the way we cook in Bulgaria. Some of yours are a new universe for me, but some are literally twins. We have a dish with beans (white ones, not red) in a clay pot with fenugreek, but we add thyme, savory and dried mushrooms as well. There is a chili paste also, similar to Ajika - with chili pepers and walnuts :) It seems that the Black sea is not large enough. Thank you for all your videos as they guide me to explore further your cuisine.
I am glad you did! I was in Bulgaria many years ago but it is absolutely different time now. Very interesting how you describe similarities in our cuisines influenced by, I guess, Black Sea and what’s been grown locally. More videos to come and happy we connected. Stay safe.
@@GeorgianCuisineatTamadasTable I am now inspired to cook everything you have in the channel and present it in some of the local facebook cooking groups. Georgian cuisine is not well known here. I was planning to visit Georgia again this summer but due to the covid crisis I had to postpone. Wish you all the best and stay safe as well!
Thank you so much for introducing georgian cuisine to the world. Being from India, I thought we knew most spices but usage of blue fenugreek, saffron (marigold) is new to me. Can you share how the marigold powder is made coz none of these ingredients are deliverable to India. I have a marigold plant at home. Lots of love and best wishes from India 🇮🇳
Thank you for watching! If you have a plant, it’s wonderful! Dry and grind Marigold petals in powder. I know in India fenugreek is more in use, not blue fenugreek, is this right?
I made this recipe without using marigold or blue fenugreek. I also used pomegranate vinegar instead of pom juice or white vinegar. They were all I had. It turned out super delicious and did taste like what I had during my trips in Georgia. Thanks a bunch for this recipe!
I tired the satsivi I was surprised how similar it is to our circassian dishes, it felt like home. I loved all Georgian dishes that I tried, very delicious cuisine.
Thank you for clear instructions to a great sauce. However, I cannot find Marigold spice in my town; what would be a good substitute for it or can I omit it without sacrificing much from the final taste?
Turmeric is stronger and will change the taste of the sauce. Marigold, kviteli kvavili, or Imeretian saffron links to purchase are provided in the description below or Please see my video Georgian Spices Sunelebi for the links.
Thank you. I will make this. I am ordering the spices online

Glad you like Georgian food and joined us. Very welcome!
My aunt used to bring bazhe to our Thanksgiving dinners and I absolutely loved it. Can't wait to try out your recipe!
You won’t regret!
Excellent dish.👍👍

Haha you're so funny you said if you don't want the guests to come back don't serve this sauce 😂😂😂🙂🙂
They will be coming back, the sauce is so good, 😀

You should have your own Georgian cooking show on PBS! Approach a local affiliate and propose it to them
Thank you so much for advice! Truly appreciate!
@Francisco Braydon thank you

You can get khmeli Suneli spice blend which has marigold in it, available online, or omit marigold. The sauce will still be delicious
Can you replace marigold w/ turmeric?
