Ajika or Adjika (Georgian: აჯიკა), is a Georgian spicy, subtly flavored sauce or dip from Samegrelo. Often used to flavor food. Ajika is primarily pepper based and usually includes other spices such as coriander, fenugreek, or blue fenugreek. Common varieties of ajika resemble Italian red pesto in appearance and consistency, although a dry version also exists. Though it is usually red, green ajika is also made with unripe peppers.

In 2018, ajika was included on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Georgia list. It originates from the Samegrelo and Abkhazia regions in the western part of Georgia.

The dish is also prepared in Sakarya, Turkey among the Abaza people and is patented by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.

Etymology

The word adjika comes from abkhaz language and means "salt".
