This is the first time that I get a chance to be a part of a challenge created by a food bloggers group on Facebook. The members were assigned a common blog from which we can select any recipe of our choice and post it. And the blog happens to be Chefindisguise by a very hardworking and talented blogger Sawsan, an orthodontist by profession with a strong passion for food. What I like about her and her blog is her simplicity in presenting the food and her stunning skills in food photography. Each recipe on her blog is a piece of art in itself, they all look fresh, crisp, and full of life. After shortlisting loads of them, I decided to try Adjaruli Khachapuri which is a baked cheesy flatbread.
Adjaruli Khachapuri is part of Georgian cuisine and is very similar to Turkish as well. This recipe resembles my previous post called Turkish Pide. Here I have prepared using cheese and zaatar.
