Ojakhuri as comfort food — exactly what I needed
Some dishes exist to comfort and Ojakhuri is absolutely in that category. The nutty and aromatic quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. adjika pepper paste does work that no substitute can replicate.
the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with formal toasts guided by a tamada toastmaster. There's something about the a family Sunday table context that reinforces the comfort effect. tkhemali sauce alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
