Armenian Dish Tolma Recipe - Armenian Cuisine - Heghineh Cooking Show 

Thank you for a wonderful video! In Western Armenian we say it as Dolma that's why you hear it with a D sound sometimes. It's not incorrect, it's the Armenian spoken in the Diaspora. Both Eastern and Western Armenian is beautiful.

I just made this last night…I did not make this for a long time and couldn’t remember the exact recipe..I was so happy to come across your recipe-I love watching you cook! Thank you

love this idea with the faster way when we are so busy

What is the difference between Tolma and Sarma? I grew up with “Sarma”, but I have bought Tolma in small Armenian markets here in Fresno, California USA.

My grandfather was Armenian. My mom cooks 3 kinds of Tolma. One with grape leaves, one with white cabbage and the other one with vegetables like tomatoes, apples, zucchinis, and bell peppers. I enjoy all of them :-)

Love the way she speaks so polite and calm

I love this video. I think we all have a memory of our grandmas cooking. This tolma is one of my favorite kind and then we have the cabbage one and the summer tolma with apple and other veggies.

I live off tolma. Not even kidding when I was young it was tolma and pita all day! Can't wait to make these for the holidays

I was smiling throughout this video. I love your videos. I have been craving home-made tolma for the longest time now (and finally feel too embarrassed to invite myself over to my parents' so my mom can cook tolma for my family, like so many numerous times, lol). I knew that your channel would have this traditional Armenian dish. Thank you!! I'm looking forward to cooking my very first tolma! I hope it'll turn out ok. I have an almost 4 year old, and want him to grow up enjoying our Armenian food as much as I have enjoyed it. By the way, I'd never heard of lazy tolma, lol. How clever!

I enjoyed every second of your video and as you say each Armenian households prepares it slightly different, same happens in Italy. I love Armenian food, one of the best cuisines in the world, together with the Thai, Indian and south Italian. Well done Heghineh.

hi dear . I am from kurdstan and by watching your totrials I fond our foods are so smiler we also call it dolma . thank you for this amazing vedio

Jan jan jan !!!❤️🇦🇲

Shad "Passive-Agressive" es!!!

Barev dzez, I enjoy your channel. You're very charismatic and it's nice watching you cook. :D Thank you for the dolma instructions!

We have Dolma in Bengali cuisine. We even use fish as a filling. You will even find vegetarian version in our cooking. I guess the dish is due to Armenian influence in our culture. By the way, we even have an Armenian Church in Kolkata.

You are adorable and an amazing cook! I really enjoy your videos! Thank you!

Thank You again for a wonderful traditional Armenian dinner. Forget the critical bad comments it works and is awesome. Thank you for the Lazy Toma and the original version. My Husband loves both. P.S. Your children are adorable

I especially appreciate the clarification you made about the pronunciation and the pure Armenian origins of this delicious dish. Shameless cultural appropriation by certain neighboring nations is commonplace. It's important to hold on our traditions and spread the word. I will be making this dish for my non-Armenian friends today and I will make sure to pronounce it the correct way.

Thank you for making this! I can’t wait to bind with my daughter over this the way I bonded with my Nene. Funny you mention eating the raw meat because that was always my snack!

My maternal grandfather was Armenian, and his mother, my great grandmother, was one of the finest cooks I have ever known. Some of my earliest memories are of the wonderful scents of her kitchen: yalanche dolma, keshkeg, kheyma, lahmacun, choreg, etc. Your videos remind me of them. Although, I find that the names of the dishes I remember are much different than I have seen presented. Thoughts?

Heghineh jan, Tolma became Dolma, because Western Armenian pronounces T as D. Thus the nations having more West-Armenian speaking diaspora started used the West Armrnian pronunciation of Tolma. There, hope it explains :)

Hey Heghineh, thank you for your video. I made the tolma´s for a pre christmas dinner last night and they were a hit! Super delicious! I just added cumin to mine which I often like with meat. The filling was very juicy and rich in flavour. And of course i told everyone that they are called Tolma and not Dolma and come from Armenia ;)

wonderful video Heghineh! Thank you!

Love how the kids are always coming in and out of camera.

JE DETESTE CUISINER , MAIS DEPUIS QUE JE REGARDE VOTRE VIDEO VOTRE SOURIRE ,VIVACITE , CELA M ENCOURAGE .J AIME AUSSI LA MUSIQUE DE FOND

Lovely video and recipe, Heghineh. I watch all your videos and you do such a good job teaching. Thank you for another great recipe!!----Tressa Daigle

My grandmother in istanbul made this whenever I came to visit! We are Turkish Armenians :D

Apres Heghine jan!

Awww...He wants bread, 2Cute!😍

You are so funny hahah Im visiting Armenia next week for skiing in Tsaghadzor and afterwords a few days in Yerevan. I'm already sooo exited to taste all the armenian dishes and too look what the armenien cusine has to offer i am looking through your channel. I'm defenitly going to try Tolma!

I love your videos!

I love your cooking and your presentation, details and your input on the recipes. thank you

Thank you this was delicious! My husband is Armenian and he said it was perfect! Btw he calls it dolma. But I am going to start calling it tolma for now on!

What about yalanchi? That is the vegetarian version of armenian grapeleaves right?

Hello heghineh How do you do the garlic Joghurt ? Thank you so much for this video, greetings from Germany 💞

My ancestors from Armenia called it dolma. I wonder if it's a regional thing? I always assumed it was either/or, just because the t and d with the accent are difficult to discern and Armenian spelling using the Latin alphabet is largely phonetic. Either way, I spell it delicious! :) I'm off to see if you have a recipe for yalanchi!

Does this tolma contains youghurt???

Dolma is a dialect version and is equally correct pronunciation. We called them Yelanchi which is I suspect Rutekish name for them.

This recipe is amazing! My husband is Armenian and says they are some of the best Dolma he's had! He also says its dolma not tolma and is ready to argue lol

Could you give me mor details about the celery herb you added. Was it celery salt, or celery seeds or something else. It is not a common ingredient here in Australia. Thanks for your videos. I am learning heaps.

Youcan pick your own grape leaves, The trick is to picl them before Hune 15th while they are still tender. The can be frozen for later use,

So after you cook the meat pieces then you wrap them?

The second one is like a casserole.

Do you make Chi Ghima raw meat with bulga (ground lamb or beef)r, paesley, onion, scallions, salt pepper and tomato paste?

“Give him big piece of bread”

Can you please do a video for how to make "Itch" I think that's how you spell it. It's usually eaten with lettuce I think.

Thanks for your awesome videos)

Thank you so much Heghine. One question. What fat percentage do you use for your ground beef?

I CUT THE OTHER VIDEO OFF EARLY AND FOUND THIS ONE BECAUSE OF HER AUTHENTICITY.... FOR EXAMPLE.... SIX YEARS LATER.... THEY'RE STILL CALLING IT DOLMA 🤨

In Iraq and Kuwait they called it Dolma

Barew Heghine jan , iskakan hay kin , hay aghjik es ! Aydpes el mna, karewor chi ,te wor erkrum kapres.

In Bengal province in India,we also eat Dolma

Because Dolma means to stuff. What you are speaking of is stuffed grape leaf and that in Armenian is Tolma. When you stuff cabbage leaves or peppers, it would be called Dolma.

I don’t even know the Armenian names of the spices Amazing how you knew all spices by their names in English

Yeselem hay esi yes gidem

Why to wash grape leaves with hot water?

stuffed grape leaves with meat and rice is called sarma. stuffed grape leaves with onion, rice and spices is called yelanchi. stuffed dried small eggplant, tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, etc is called dolmah. Don't know what the heck you are talking about. It sounds like you are russian armenian, (sorry if I am mistaken), but, I am full blooded Armenian, and I can't believe how some of our foods are said incorrectly. Your version you are showing right now might be what you like, but, sarma is stuffed with ground lamb, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Boiled and served with madzoon (yogurt) home made of course. As for your version of Armenian food, it might be good for you, but, it is not authentic.

Very clever! You are a genius!

Does anyone know what kind of rice brand/ type is being used?

Hayeren uzum es gosas

моя хорошая а где Вы проживайте? ??😛😍😜😆

Dolma is iranian food too.

Լցոնումը պատկանում է ադրբեջանական խոհանոցին, այն կարող ես միայն գողանալ, այսինքն ՝ ինչպե՞ս է այն հայկական:

Not Armenian food it is Greek food name is dolmadaki

I eat these foof everyday and pls lying people with this food tolma*😂😂because its DOLMA

And Albania is dollma and japrak

Dolma with pork? Are you nuts? Dolma is warm with meat. Yalanchi or Sarma is cold no meat.

Tolma 335 BC

But it different from Armenian Dolma

Tolma made in georgia 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪

Ինչու Karabakhարաբաղը չի հիշատակվում Հայաստանի պատմության մեջ (եթե կա):

Hey dear Heghineh .This food is not Armenian and just dear Armenian call it Tolma . In much of other countries it calls Dolma but not Tolma but Armenian Tolma is one of the most delicious i've tried . i suggest you to read this food history :)

Your family must have come from western Turky or Greece because you use tomatoes in most of your recipes. My grandmother ysed onions salt pepper, olive oil lemon juice pine nuts in her stuffed grape leaves. Do you use sugar syrup on your paklava or do you use honey with orange juice flaoring?

🇦🇿🇹🇷🇵🇰🇬🇪♥️♥️♥️♥️

*Dolma is not armenian Dolma is TÜRKIC Languages What The Fuck armenia ?*

I'm so sorry to have to say this but I feel so very disgusted at around the 10th minute. You literally knead dead animals. And the way you did is was very disturbing to me.

Apres Heghine jan!
