How to Make Kewa Datshi:
Creating Kewa Datshi is straightforward and results in a delightful meal. Here’s a traditional recipe to try at home:

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 green chilies, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 200 grams Bhutanese cheese (Datshi), crumbled
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Preparation Steps:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Boil the cubed potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover them until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Onion, Chilies, and Tomatoes: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and green chilies until the onion becomes translucent and golden. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften.
3. Add the Potatoes and Spices: Incorporate the boiled potatoes into the skillet. Add turmeric powder, red chili flakes (if using), and salt. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
4. Incorporate the Cheese: Add the crumbled Datshi to the skillet. Stir gently until the cheese melts and blends with the potatoes and vegetables. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, and serve hot with Bhutanese red rice or steamed white rice.

Cooking Time: Approximately 30 minutes.
