Balandeliai are one of our most popular cuisine recipes, and the production recipe is passed from generation to generation in almost every family. Modern "balandeliai" are still liked by Lithuanian housewives and are known since times of Vytautas Magnus. The Tartars in Lithuania "flew" balandeliai from the Middle East, but their original form was somewhat different from now. All the components of this dish are perfectly balanced products: vegetables, meat and whole grains.
