My grandma used to make Dolma, miss her and her food.

Looks yummy, can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing x

I made these and followed the recipe, with the exception of adding some cardamom, cumin, and cayenne pepper, and swapping beef mince for la,b. They worked perfectly. You are right. They are even tastier the next day. We dipped them in soy sauce, which worked very nicely. Thanks xo

Dolma meaning "filling" in Turkish, is the name for a number of dishes which are common in eastern Mediterranean and Caucasian cuisines. Usually, a kind of vegetable is filled with rice and chopped or ground meat. Instead of a vegetable, vine leaves are sometimes used. In 2017, dolma making in Azerbaijan was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. The tradition is present throughout the Republic of Azerbaijan, and is perceived as a central culinary practice in all of its regions.

Very nice, I will make this recipe today! Thanks for sharing.

It looks delicious!! Can not wait to make it! Thank you very much!

This looks so good.. Definitely trying this recipe..

In Serbia, a similar thing we make is called "Sarma". It's DELICIOUS! I love it! It's made with sour cabbage and then the filling is similar to this, ground beef, rice, salt&pepper, paprika powder, maybe something else lol! You put it all in a pot with some bay leaves and allow them to cook for a longer time! :)

Just a tip for everyone. I did try to take out the cabbage leaves and it was very hard. My suggestion is to boil the whole cabbage instead of taking the leaves out first.

Great and fun show ! Thanks for posting this recipe.

In Greece we eat dolma with yogurt or with a lemon flavored sauce! MMmmmm yummy!

Maria Kopanelou yes, that's the Turkish version; Armenian version is TOLMA and I posted etymology above :) the original name comes from Armenian version and later on Turkish people found an explanation of their own version :) each nation have their own name for this, so do Armenians :)

In Greece we also make them with wine grape leaves and vegetarian with rice and herbs. You don't need to throw the water after they have been cooked,otherwise they will be tasteless.You add less from the beginning with some olive oil and after they have been cooked you remove it from the heat to cool and add a sauce to thicken it up.In Greece we call it avgolemono (egg and lemon).Serve it with some Greek yogurt on top from some freshness.

Looking delicious Thanks

I cook this dish very often. I am just suggesting , cabbage leaves would be very easy to take a part if u take kore of the cabbage and put that site down into boiling water for 2-3 min. and let it cool and separate leaves.. ( In my country ( Bosnia ) we call it SARMA . REGARDS FROM AUSTRALIA..... instead of rice u can put barley and some smoked meat.

I was going to suggest the same thing - prevents leaves from splitting so much. I have made stuffed cabbage for years. People make it in different ways - I cook mine in tomato sauce with a bit of kraut, tad of brown sugar, vinegar, and lots of paprika. It is one of my favorite dishes. Delicious!

You guys are awesome.

Outstanding! Thank you!

hi, Good morning from Armeina, thank you!...😍😘

I’ve made this recipe about 4 times now and I absolutely love it! Will be making some today for my husband and in-laws

the Armenians from Iran add sweet plums to this dish,and we also add cilantro,green onions,garlic,parsley, we add tomato sauce after everything is mixed and rolled in cabbage. and yes we do call it DOLMA.

I've only ever had the Greek variety (the ones with grape leaves instead of cabbage... or at least, that's the one that most of the Mediterranean/Greek restaurants in my area usually serve)... but it's nice to see this version. Can't wait to make it for myself and try it!

Beautiful

Thanks very much!

Looked very good yuuuuuum

why ppl are fighting?? First time I knew the history about Dolma. I am from Bangladesh (south Asia), we also make this item but in a different way like we use tomatoes or some other vegetables which can be stuffed with kima mixture. generation after generation everyone making this. I even never asked anyone I though this is originally our cuisine.... lolzzz. Thanks for let us know the history of Dolma.

Super.

Amazing!!! Really worth a try!!!i live in t Middle East but never knew abt this... Totally yummy looking this is... Alia a request for making a middle eastern food called "thareed"... Pleeeeeeeezzzzz

My family is turkish and we make this home sometimes with hot peppers & we put white greek yoghurt over the dolma verry delicious 😋😋😋

It makes me feel really sick how people are intolerant to other cultures and suddenly jump in the air how things are better in their own culture. This is the way Dolma is cooked in Armenia. Simple and still very delicious! By the way, do NOT attack me, I'm not Armenian.

any sauce on top?

Alia, you are right. I would like to see more of Sabrina! I find her to be very personable. She does well in front of a camera and should have her own cooking channel here on youtube. But as always, thank you for presenting this awesome recipe. I want to make it! :D

PEUT ON METTRE DE L AIL ET DU CITRON ?

I adore stuffed cabbage rolls yummmmmmm but the Egyptian style...

Tolma pronounced with T is authentic Armenian dish with its origins deeply rooted in the Armenian culture. Tolma is derived from an Armenian word that means grape vine. This delicious dish is made by many different cultures now days and that's perfectly OKAY! But it's important to remember that it's Armenian and NOT (shamelessly) appropriate it. Let's give credit where credit is appropriately due and this one goes to the Armenian culture!

Armenians have great test of food....

i have never seen tolma so small nor have i seen any of my armenian relatives cut the cabbage in half. this is cute because its bite size

I had dolma for dinner tonight lol , we call it mahshe malfof ( محشي ملفوف )

Nice presentation 😍 recently subscribe your channel 👍👍❤❤❤

I am gonna try the Indian quartet -turmeric, chilli, coriander, cumin- and maybe cilantro and then do the dolma?:) I remember eating this some place?

In Romanian we eat this Dolma with creme fraiche this is very fine and delicios.... Try out ???

In România, we have sour cabbage for this recipe and the meat is pork belly to be tender , and onions are sote in fat of pork. It is a traditional dish for Cristhmas . It is a verry good dish after 2/3days . It is name "sarmale" .

I think a little bit of turmeric and coriander powder would make it spicy-along with cumin-maybe finely diced green chilli as well?:)

Oh I love this!! My favourite food! You can wake me up for this always hahah. I use another type of cabbage and the leaves are thinner so its easier to roll them up. What I also do is to cut a lot of garlic and squeeze 3 to 4 lemons and put a little of boiled water with the lemon juice and the garlic so they will get a super great taste! :)) it goes so great to eat it with yoghurt... this is kinda how they prepare it in my country Lebanon. You should give it a try! 😁 you have great recipes and I'm preparing your recipes often :D

Dolma, dolmatis etc means "stuffed" in Turkish. The reason Armenians and Greeks use the term it's because they were under Ottoman rule for over 500 years and had to use the Turkish language. Therefore any vegetable that is stuffed - could be vine leaves, cabbage leaves , green peppers, potatoes, mussels etc - is called dolma.

Yes the vine leaves is SARMA and there's also the stuffed cabbage .

Ok. This is NOT, I repeat NOT sarma. Sarma is made with sauercraut leaves or pickled cabbage leaves filled with minced meat rice onion garlic paprika powder and some well-chopped or minced smoked meat as well. All is mixed together well and stuffed into the sour cabbage leaves. You also put some chopped leaves under and on top of the rolls in the pan. Pour water and let it simmer for two hours, adding water if necessary. That is it. No tomatoes, parsley or anything else is needed. Greetings from Serbia.

Challenge - *_take a shot every time she says "Yum".._*

this is not armenian food. DOLMA is a turkish word mean stuffed. This is old ottoman cuisine spread all over world. Actually dolma is not make with leaf. Dolma made with round green pepper. This food's name is yaprak sarması. You must search as Yaprak Sarması. this is turkish food.

There are no words the Armenian dolma.Dolma Azerbaijan is the word.İn Azerbaijani dolma means to fill.Azerbaijani cuisine such as dolma,is included in the Unesko list of cultural heritage

Toli/Doli = Armenian word for grapeleaves You Mongolian nomads didnt have this dish before you had invaded Anatolia.

I ate my Dolma with cilantro added and sour cream on the side.

This also russian and polish food calls Golubtci

TOLMA is the Armenian for this dish. And it has nothing to do with the country named in the video! It is a purely Armenian dish and has 100ds of ways we cooked it - stuffed in grape leave, in veggies (tomato, eggplant, pepper), in various fruits mainly apple, as well as onions. So please-please do NOT ever call it Turkish - where were the warrior Tatars when we Armenian women cooked meals for their families and guests
