A Mosaic of Flavor: Bhutanese Ema Datshi, Basmati Rice and Nepali Salad

This class has been sold out!

The Mosaic of Flavor cooking series is a collaboration between City Market and USCRI Vermont (US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants Vermont, formerly the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program).  For our February class we will welcome Maya Gurung-Subba and Suk Subba, married partners and owners of the Bhutanese-Nepali restaurant, Maya's Kitchen, on North Avenue in the New North End. Maya and Suk will teach us to make Ema Datshi, one of the most famous dishes in Bhtuanese cuisine and considered a national dish of Bhutan. Ema Datshi is a thick chili made from a variety of green and red chili peppers and homemade cheese, traditionally made in small batches from cow or yak's milk. To accompany the Ema Datshi, we will also prepare basmati rice and a traditional Nepali salad. Maya and Suk were born in Bhutan, but left their homeland in the 1990s. They grew up in a refugee camp in eastern Nepal and moved to New England in 2008. They opened Maya's Kitchen in January, 2019 and are excited to share their love of Bhutanese cooking with the Burlington community!
