Bhutanese Kewa Datshi Stew
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as desired
  • 4 chile peppers, slit and coarsely chopped, or more to taste
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 cups water, or more if needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon chile pepper powder
  • salt or to taste
  • 1 cup grated fresh cheese
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by heating a generous amount of oil in a cooking vessel over a moderate temperature; sauté and blend the chile peppers and garlic until they turn golden brown and emit a pleasant aroma, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Introduce the onion into the mixture and cook and stir until it becomes transparent, lasting around 5 to 7 minutes. Combine the potatoes with the onion mixture and ensure they are evenly coated in oil.

Next, pour water over the potato mixture and add a pinch of chile pepper powder and salt to taste. Bring the liquid to a rolling boil; then, decrease the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, adding more water as necessary but maintaining a rich gravy consistency, around 10 to 15 minutes.

Subsequently, lower the heat to its lowest setting and sprinkle a generous amount of fresh cheese over the gravy; gradually stir until the cheese melts and spreads uniformly, taking around 5 minutes. Finally, garnish the dish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
