My epic third day in Bhutan continued that afternoon in the Wangdue District, about a 30-minute drive south of the city of Punakha. I’d be exploring a 17th-century village first, and then head to a second village to experience local life and have some amazing food! Come along with me as I try some medieval Bhutanese village food, including Bhutanese puris, in Wangdue, Bhutan!
Tsheten (my guide from MyBhutan) and I started in the village of Rinchengang, one of the oldest villages in Bhutan! Here, the houses are all clustered together. You can see traditional stonemasonry and multigenerational households. There were cows and stray dogs wandering around everywhere. It was like taking a trip back in time!
I loved the architecture. Then, I got to see some of the mud-bricks that they use to build the houses. A lot of the older houses have stone foundations and mud-bricks on the top. The newer houses also have wood in them.
There’s only one main path that connects the 20-or-so houses in Rinchengang. It reminded me of an Ottoman village I once visited in Turkey.
We reached the bottom of the town and got back in the car with Nidup to cross the river to the second village. Along the way, we saw Wangdue Phodrang Dzong fortress, which burned down in 2012. We followed a narrow, winding road on the side of the mountain, which got very rocky and bumpy.
In the second village, the houses are much farther apart from one another. We visited one with lots of space and small, low couches.
We had some milk tea with sugar, flattened corn, flattened rice, and roasted rice powder. The tea was basically like chai. The flattened corn was the best.
Then, we went to see some locals making puris, and along the way, we played a little archery. Then, we arrived at the house where they were making Bhutanese puris called maku, which are made from rice like Indian puris. They take a small amount of dough, press it into a small disc shape, and deep-fry it so it puffs up into a hollow, crispy ball.
It tasted like popcorn and was crispy, airy, and not too oily! I wanted to try some with some ema dashti! We bought a bag of them for 200 Nu/$2.65 USD.
After Tsheten had to run away from a bull protecting its calf, we entered another house by climbing a super steep staircase to the second level. There, we had some maku with red chili salsa with onion and tomato called ezay. We enjoyed it with some strong ara!
I broke the maku in half and scooped up some of the ezay. It was extremely spicy, but so amazing! I couldn’t get enough of it! Then, it was time to make some ema dashti! I cut a few chilies before the cook took over.
Fresh cow cheese and processed cheese went into this ema dashti. We enjoyed it with red rice, kewa dashti (chili, cheese, and potatoes), ema dashti, spinach soup, fried beef with chilies, and ezay (chili salsa). We ate everything traditional-style, on the floor with no tables.
I started with the spinach soup, which was creamy and full of spinach. It was a nice, small portion and so yummy!
The ema dashti was nice and spicy, while the kewa dashti was super creamy. The beef looked amazing and was so spicy, juicy, and full of flavor! The chili salsa was so refreshing. The numbing Szechwan peppers were outstanding. Every meal in Bhutan got better and better! The tender beef with the peppers and chilies and cheese was unreal!
This afternoon and evening was one of my favorite experiences in Bhutan so far!

I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local history and culture.

is it panipuri/golgappa/phuchka without water??
I love all your episodes! So educational and funny ! Keep posting 👏👏👏
FYI, the spinach soup in our language is called “jaju” made of milk and chopped spinach, two main ingredients(No thickening agent like corn starch added).
The best way to drink jaju would be to take a sip of it in between every bite to cleanse your pallet since the main course curries are a bit spicy 🌶😁

Pani puri are made with semolina flour with a bit of maida mixed in.

Plss visit assam Nagaon
*Somebody. Could I get an Amen?! Yummy!! (Nevertheless, me Mr. Amos).*
Oh yeah. Amen to that. John 3:16
David basically consumed my yearly chili consumption in this episode alone. 😅
Hahaha Wangdue.......Phunsukh Wangdu's ancestors lived here
Actually sabji's r supposed to be eaten with rice or roti,bread etc also chillies in the sabzi r for flavour not be eaten alone, later u will have burning issues in tummy
Bhutan likes like brother of india
Look's
I love your videos #SpiceMixRecipes
Gracias!
The United States hasn't gone too much ahed in time in some respects. The residences are still made of timber and for an outsider it becomes enigmatic when such residences are made to vanish by engulfing with an inferno or blown out and scattered in fragments in a tornado
Go explore Korea or China
I love your videos David. Your attention to details, genuine interest and respect towards the culture of the places you visit, is something I really really admire. Good luck with your videos
One thing I must bring to your notice though, whoever is doing the transcription of your narration off late, is doing a real poor job. If "pooris" become *booris* then your audience, who have less knowledge about India and its food, don't get the right idea, do they?? And that's just one random example among many. Plz bring it to their notice and ask them to do a better job. It'll give a better experience to your audience.
Keep eating and keep smiling 💐🤗
Agreed!
the subtitles are auto generated, lol
Bhutanese eat more spicy foods?
We like it hot!!!
U have to sit when u eat food
Ello doyh badukdono ill bsndo
To be honest, not to offend our Bhutanese brothers, there are not lot of options in food. Cheese and chilli are mostly the options that I could view from what David has explored everywhere IN Bhutan
He visited only two district so far. Chilli cheese is our national cuisine and most bhutanese consume atleast 2 times a week. He should visit other district to explore more. I haven't seen single RUclipsr so far who travelled to other district to explore other delicacy.
Yes u are right brother we have very limited cuisine but definitely more than what David has shown. 😊
@@jingu1550 Ok. Thanks for that insight bro. I would like to know more of Bhutan, may b, I will travel one day to see your beautiful country
@@rahulshetty1233 you can visit anytime and explore as much as you can. Bhutan will welcome you whole heartedly and yes, you will not miss your home when you are here. Lekin family ko saath may zaruur lekay aana mere dost. 😊
@@rahulshetty1233 Email us at contact@mybhutan.com. We can plan with you.
Its so spicy because you are eating a abnormal amount of chillies!!
Please give that hat a rest bro,.,lol
Wet beef lol...
Hey mate, 'puri' is an Indian word, FYI and I don't think it's quite apt here unless this episode of your vlog is specially meant for the Indian viewers.
You hv the learnt the Indian way of eating something 😁..you are already half indian..searching for panipuris...this puffed rice balls are no competition to pani puris😀
#boycottchina
Fuck off
Puri God.,really ..u have a weird way of exaggerating tooo much.. don't worry most of the Indians don't even know u...
