Next Dish: Breadfruit Chips

Karađorđeva šnicla, also known as Karađorđe's schnitzel, is a popular dish in Serbia, named after the Serbian Prince Karađorđe. It is a rolled veal or pork steak, stuffed with kajmak (a type of clotted cream), then breaded and fried. It is commonly served with tartar sauce and a side of roasted potatoes. The dish, created during the 1950s in a restaurant in Belgrade, is considered a variation of the traditional Viennese schnitzel.
