Ema Datshi | The Heart of Bhutan: Spicy, Cheesy, & Comforting | Well Done Devrat ✨

Creamy, fiery, and deeply comforting, Ema Datshi is the national dish of Bhutan. This simple yet bold stew is a celebration of two main stars: chilies (Ema) and cheese (Datshi).

Unlike most cuisines where chili is used as a seasoning, here it is treated as the primary vegetable. The result is a silky, rich sauce that balances the heat of the green chilies with the velvety smoothness of melted cheese.
It’s a soulful dish that brings warmth to any table.

🗒️ Ingredients:
* Green Chilli - 5-6 (slit lengthwise)
* Garlic - 10-12 pods (smashed and roughly chopped)
* Cheese Slice - 2
* Butter - 1 tbsp
* Oil - 1 tbsp
* Water - as required
* Salt - to taste

🍽️ Method:
Heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter in a pan over medium heat. Let the butter melt and mingle with the oil to prevent it from burning.
2
Add the smashed and chopped garlic along with the
slit green chilies. Sauté them for a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant and the chilies soften slightly.
3
Pour in a little water (just enough to partially submerge the chilies) and add salt to taste. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the chilies are tender.
Lower the flame and place the cheese slices over the mixture. Do not stir immediately; cover the pan for another minute to let the cheese melt into the liquid.
5
Once the cheese is gooey, give it a gentle stir to create a creamy, emulsified sauce. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the chilies.
Turn off the heat and serve immediately while the
cheese is silky and hot.

Best enjoyed with a steaming bowl of red rice or
white jasmine rice for the ultimate Bhutanese experience.
