Ever since Deepika Padukone shared her love for Bhutanese cuisine and specifically Ema Datshi, this traditional stew has gained immense popularity. Intrigued by its unique flavors, I decided to recreate this dish at home, and the experience was truly delightful. Ema Datshi, a hearty stew made with cheese and chilies, offers a burst of flavors.
Though i felt its a little heavy dish with cheese, tasting it is awesome. children would love this.
