Ema-datsi

Ema means chili and datsi is a kind of cottage cheese, so ema-datsi is a kind of spiced-up welsh rarebit.

Kewa-datsi

A potato, cheese and chili dish.

Kewa-datsi and shamu-datsi tend to be less hot than ema-datsi; all three dishes are generally served with rice.

Mutter paneer

Though not a bhutanese dish, this indian staple of curried peas and cheese is readily available throughout bhutan and is therefore an additional choice for vegetarians.

Cheese momo

Khuli

Buckwheat pancakes - a specialty of bumthang. they are often served with ema-datsi as an alternative to rice.

Puta

A dish of buckwheat noodles usually served with curd - a specialty of bumthang

Imtrat run canteens that sell excellent Indian dishes along with tea from 9.30AM to 4.30PM. The quality of the food is very good, while the price is low. The canteens are located throughout the country, especially along main highways.

Rice is a staple with every meal. Vegetable or meat dishes cooked with chili and/or cheese comprise the accompanying cuisine.

Bhutanese food has one predominant flavor - chili. This small red condiment is not only added to every dish but is also often eaten raw. So, if you don't like spicy-hot food, make this abundantly clear before ordering a meal. Otherwise, you'll be spending the next hour dousing your mouth with cold yogurt or milk.
