Sarma is a savory dish of grape, cabbage or chard leaves rolled around a filling usually based on minced meat. It is found in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire from the Middle East to the Balkans and Central Europe.
Sarma means 'a wrapped thing' in Turkish language, from the verb sarmak 'to wrap' or 'to roll'.[1] Yaprak Sarma (grape leaves with meat) may also be commonly called yaprak dolması 'filled leaf' or simply dolma 'stuffed thing', although linguisticallyit is not correct. Dolma, which properly refers to stuffed vegetables, is often conflated with sarma.
Yaprak sarma without meat (grape leaves filled with spicy rice, pinos and black currants) is usually called "yalancı (false) dolma".
Besides the savory dish of leaf-wrapped filling.
In Turkey, sarma is eaten as an everyday, ordinary dish. There are also restaurants specializing in sarma
