It is a popular snack in Eastern Mediterranean countries.
In Azerbaijan, in addition to above, the word dolma is used of any foodstuffs filled with something else, such as filled cabbage leaves, eggplants, paprikas or potato cakes.
In Azerbaijan minced lamb meat with rice is wrapped into grape leaves (Yarpag dolmasy) or occasionally in cabbage leaves (Kyalyam dolmasy). This dish is condimented with coriander, dill, mint, pepper, cinnamon and melted butter. Sometimmes chestnuts and peas are part of the mix. Sour milk is often used as a sauce. Aubergines, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, onions, quince and apples are also stuffed with lamb meat and also called dolma.
