Ema Datshi:

[confusedraj]

I appreciate your efforts trying to make a dish from every single country in the world.
Some tips for making ema datshi:
- Tomatoes are not required actually
- use onion slices rather than chopped same with tomatoes if u are using it
- cream cheese works best with ema datshi most people use the same at home or even in restaurants
- Cottage cheese is good, the cheese used in Bhutan is also a kind of cottage cheese
- I personally don't prefer cheddar cheese
- Bhutanese people mostly use cheese from cattle 🐄 these days yaks are scarce in Bhutan.

I made this tonight using a combination of Thai red chilies, Serrano chilies, filipino Sili chilies, and white cheddar cheese curds I had leftover and it was amazing. Paired it with pan roasted salmon and jasmine rice and the ema datshi raised the supper to another level. Thanks for that!

Dude, your growth as a cook is really starting to shine. You mentioned onion sweating intuition but you glossed by the foaming butter technique and that is pro level to me. I started watching you around the time of the first Jamie and Julia episode and I dig every one of the videos. Keep it up, man.

Ema datsi is one of my all time favourite dishes. The last time I was in Bhutan, I ate it almost every day. Kewa datsi is also great…potatoes, chillies and cheese.

Love bhutanese food my father happens to work for the bhutan govt and we’ve been lucky to get so many beautiful ingredients from the country like cheese red rice tung rice chillies dried and green . The best.

My Bhutanese friends in the usa use a combo of blue cheese and cream cheese. Lots of butter. And they use bigger hot peppers, left whole or just in half.

I like watching you prep because we all know how important 'prep work' is.

Just so you know, there are a few Yak ranches in the US...one in Casper Wyoming called Star Yak Ranch...

I Came across your channel recently thanks to the YT algorithm, and I have so enjoyed going through all your cooks with Julia!! I had ignored the other videos until this one... WOW! Cooking the countries is such an amazing challenge! Now to go back and check the ones I have missed! Thank you!

This looks great. I love this, it really shows how everyone has some variety of everything else. I have everything in this dish and most come from my own garden. I live in the midwest USA.

I love how you are starting to use your intuition regarding your cooking!!

[Shenorai]

Have you considered trying to make your own farmer's cheese? The simplest version uses milk, lemon juice or vinegar, then whatever seasonings you want for the cheese. I tend to use dill when using lemon juice.

What's more? This can easily use Lactaid's lactose-free milk! :D I'm lactose intolerant as well, so that's a fantastic relief when I have a soft cheese craving.

I think we watched your sinuces clearing in real time :) This dish looks like extremely efficient anti-flu remedy

[LazRanasinghe]

I make this with a combination of banana peppers and jalapeños with whatever cheese I have in the fridge. I make mine a little less soupy.. Great winter dinner dish with rice.

[LPdedicated]

I love this series and this channel so much! Your curiosity and approach are so genuine and it's so fun to see you grow in the kitchen! :)

[Harpeia]

Ahh that looks beautiful! It WOULD have a different taste if the proper cheese was used but the heat is what should dominate this dish so it shouldn't matter too much.
Gosh... when you start approaching my country, I will need to DM you about the recipes. Constant political conflict pushed what's unique to the area so far behind Ottoman cuisine that most people that live here never even heard of it. Apologies in advance, it's a super important topic for those of us that know.

I want more of these episodes!! I love these videos and seeing what regional dishes are.
