Some people believe that vavishka is a food of Russian origin with the Balkan countries, but there are better reasons to connect this popular food to Gilki food culture. Wawijdadan/vavishtan or wabishtan means roasting or frying on fire. Vavishka or Vavijiga is also derived from this verb in Gilaki. This dish has a simple general recipe, some onion is fried with the animal's own oil or fat and the meat is added to it. The meat can be from all types of poultry such as chicken, duck and rooster, or as it was popular in the past, from game birds or veal and sheep. The fact that the pieces of meat are big and have teeth was one of the basic and important principles in the olden days, and over time, minced meat has opened its place. In the next step, chopped or pureed tomatoes or sour pomegranate seeds or pomegranate paste and sour plums are added as seasoning. Tomato paste has opened a way to this dish in the last 50 years and many people cannot imagine without it.
