Ema Datshi—Bhutanese Chili Cheese Soup—The Blue Poppy, Calcutta style

Ema Datshi—Bhutanese Chili Cheese Soup—The Blue Poppy, Calcutta style

Description :

Ema Datshi (ཨེ་མ་དར་ཚིལ་) is a type of datshi, cheese based soups eaten all over Bhutan, and also some parts of North eastern India. Ema Datshi comes from Ema which means chili pepper, and Datshi meaning cheese. This dish is so popular in Bhutan that it has earned the status of a national dish in the country. In Bhutan Ema Datshi is served with red rice that is mostly grown in the Paro valley. Besides Ema datshi, people also eat Kewa Datshi (potato datshi), Shamu Datshi (mushroom datshi).

In Calcutta we were introduced to Ema Datshi at The Blue Poppy, Sikkim House Calcutta (they also have a two more branches in Lake Town and Sector 3) by our friend food and travel blogger, Poorna (check out her blog at http://www.presentedbyp.com/).

  • I m Bhutan born Indian based in Visakhapatnam…My kids love Bhutanese dishes…But my mom makes Bengali foods like pumpkin and drumstickk which is delicious which I haven't been able to master the same taste…Or flavour…

  • I am a south indian who grew up in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad for most of my life before moving to America and have had absolutely no exposure to bengali food. I am absolutely fascinated by almost every recipe of yours. In the past month, I must have watched close to 50 videos on this channel. So far I've tried phulkopir data chorchori, bengali egg tadka and omelette curry and my wife & I enjoyed every bit of it. This dish looks completely different from anything I must have tasted in my life and I am eager to try it next. Thanks for all the beautiful videos you post and I hope you continue doing it.
