Jellied pie with kefir - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use yogurt instead of kefir for the dough?

Yes, plain yogurt (unsweetened) can be a great substitute for kefir, as both provide acidity and moisture. Use a 1:1 ratio for best results.

How should I store leftover jellied pie, and how long does it last?

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave before serving.

Can I make this pie vegetarian?

Absolutely! Swap the minced meat for sautéed mushrooms, lentils, or a plant-based meat alternative. Keep the seasoning similar for rich flavor.

What’s the best way to freeze this pie for later?

Cool completely, wrap tightly in foil or plastic, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat at 160°C until warmed through.

Why is my pie’s dough too dense?

Overmixing the flour can cause denseness. Gently whisk until just combined, and ensure your baking powder is fresh for proper rising.

Can I use a different oil instead of vegetable oil?

Yes! Neutral oils like sunflower or canola work well. For flavor, try melted butter, though it may slightly alter texture.

How can I tell when the pie is fully baked?

Insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s done. The edges should also pull away slightly from the pan.

What sides pair well with this savory pie?

Serve with a crisp salad, pickled vegetables, or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a balanced meal.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
