Step 2
Prepare the garlic first. It must be peeled and rubbed with a very sharp knife, or use a garlic press. The garlic should turn into gruel.

Next, chop the washed cilantro very finely with a sharp knife. You can even rub all the ingredients with a blender at the end of cooking.
Step 4
Combine sour cream with cilantro and garlic. Add pounded hot red pepper if desired, salt the sauce and put the utskho-suneli pounded in a mortar.
