Datshi

Cultural Context

Originating from Bhutan, Datshi is a beloved dish that showcases the country's love for spicy food and dairy. Traditionally made with local chilies and cheese, this dish is often served with rice and reflects the Bhutanese preference for bold flavors. In modern times, variations have emerged, with different types of cheese and chilies being used, making it popular beyond Bhutan's borders.
