Home cooking attempt — Pkhali from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Pkhali from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting blue fenugreek right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The nutty and aromatic result was rewarding once I got it right.

Georgia claims one of the world's oldest continuous wine-making traditions dating back 8000 years. I served it with Borjomi mineral water as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Pkhali yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
