Ema Datshi is considered as the national dish of Bhutan. This exotic dish is basically a stew which made using two main ingredients which is “ema” meaning chillies and “datshi” is the cheese.
The dish can really seem hot for someone who is not in a habit of eating spicy food. After all chilies are one of the main ingredient.
You can use any type of chilies such as green, red or even capsicum depending upon your preference. The cheese helps to bring down the spiciness giving it a mild creamy taste.
Datshi is best served with rice.
