Bhutan - The Only Mild Dish in the Country

After much searching, I found a Bhutanese dish that did not include yak by-products or chili peppers hot enough to melt lead: Veggies Over Rice.

I think it's a winner. Kevin poured hot chili sauce on it first.

Bhutanese Veggies Over Rice

The Rices

Cook together

• 1 cup rice

  
  
  

  1 tsp oil

  
  
  

  cardamom

In a separate pot, cook together:

• 1/2 cup rice



• 4 whole cloves



• 1/4 tsp tumeric

When they're done, mix them together.

The Veggies

Saute in a little oil: green peas

Saute in a little oil:

• 1 onion, sliced
  


• 5 cloves, whole
  


• 1/4 bunch coriander greens
  


• 1/4 ginger, ground up with a mortar
  


• 1/2 garlic, ground up with mortar
  


• cardamom



• Eggplant, sliced into bitsized chunks



• Broccoli, bitesized chunks

Remove eggplant and broccoli when they look done. Add potatoes (sliced,
boiled, peeled). Fry until they look brown.

Add into the potato pot:

• The fried eggplant



• The fried broccoli



• The fried peas

Serve veggies over the rice mix.
