Achma is a traditional Georgian cheese-filled pastry that is both rich and satisfying.
This delicious dish has a long history in Georgian cuisine, often enjoyed during special occasions and family gatherings.
To make Achma, you start by preparing the dough with flour, eggs, and water. Once the dough is ready, it is layered with generous amounts of cheese in a baking dish.
After layering, the dish is baked in the oven until it turns golden brown and the cheese melts to perfection.
While the classic recipe is already mouth-watering, you can customize Achma by adding different types of cheese or even incorporating herbs for an extra burst of flavor.
In Georgia, Achma is typically served warm, often accompanied by a fresh salad or a glass of wine, making it a delightful meal or snack.
From a nutritional standpoint, Achma is rich in protein and calcium due to the cheese, but it can also be high in calories and fat. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
