BHUTANESE CHILE CHICKEN WITH RED RICE
This recipe is based on a spicy stir-fry served hroughout the Himalayas and the country of Bhutan. Use any type of hot chile pepper - jalapeno, Thai chiles etc. I have modified the traditional recipe to be lower in sodium and fat. The red rice makes it naturally higher in fibre.

KEWA DATSHI (BHUTANESE DISH)
Not the best picture, I know, but it tastes sooo good! Kewa Datshi - literally meaning potatoes and cheese - is a delicious thick gravy-like Bhutanese dish that is made up of potatoes, chiles, and cheese. Serve it like a soup or along with rice! I had it for the first time when I visited Bhutan and fell in live with its flavors. This is my recreation of that dish and tastes almost the same. An authentic kewa datshi is very spicy but in this recipe I have toned it down as I cannot handle that much spice. But you can adjust the amount of chiles to your liking. Enjoy!
