Ema Datshi
Ema Datshi is the most popular dish in Bhutan as well as being the national dish of the country. 
Chilies, which can be both fresh-out-of-farm green or dried red chili are stewed with traditional Bhutanese cheese,
white in color and usually, yellow when sun-dried. The latter is more preferred.
Kewa Datshi 
like Ema Datshi, is a combination of potatoes as in Kewa and cheese as in Datshi.
It too is extensively favored, specifically, by the younger generation, and also a great option for those who
can't handle their spice.

Kewa probably is the next go-to vegetable for the Bhutanese after chilies.
The love potatoes receive in Bhutan is no less than that of the mentioned chilli.

Shamu Datshi

By now you very well are acquainted with Datshi, so to cut to the chase we will move on to Shamu

the mushroom is cooked with cheese producing a thin watery, or creamy broth depending on the amount of
Datshi thrown in.
