Hi guys, I am so sorry for not
updating the blog in a while but out was out of town for official work and then
I was too tired to immediately jump back into blogging so took some time off
from blogging. Anyways now that I am back I wanted to do another Bhutanese
Cuisine and its called JAJU. It’s a really simple dish which is served in any
occasion. Basically jaju in Dzongkha means “veg” and generally it means veg
soup. It can be made using various key ingredients like sea weed, pumpkin and
spinach.
The one I am going to explain here is sea-weed jaju but again, the
process for any kind of jaju is similar. In fact sea-weed and spinach jaju has
the same process. Anyways I will start off with the steps of preparing the
jaju:
1. Wash your sea-weed (or spinach) thoroughly and
mince it
2. Place it in a cooking pot with water, oil,
salt, red chili powder (as usual, the quantity to your liking)
3. You can add a cup or two of milk if you want,
this is basically to balance the taste and also to give this nice creamy color and
texture to the soup
4. Add feta cheese (around 50 grams if the soup is
for a group of four to six people OR any amount you want) to the mixture and boil it like
you boil any other soup
5. Taste if the salt is enough and “voila” it’s
done
Believe it or not guys, that’s
it. I told you, it’s pretty simple and easy not to forget it’s really tasty, I personally
really like it. I hope you guys will like it too. Enjoy your jaju.
thank you again Ms Tarla Dalal ;)

DeleteWill surely try it ! Sounds simple enough ! Thanks !
ReplyDeleteYour welcome, i hope you will enjoy the taste as much as i do :)
DeleteCould you recommend specific measurements for this recipe
ReplyDeleteOops! I dont usally have specific measurements, I just eyeball all my ingredients. Non the less, try using this as a guide (rough guide to be specific) for 1-2 serving
Delete1. 2 cups of water (add a pinch of salt and red chili powder, 1 tea spoon of cooking oil) bring it to boil
2. once the water comes to boil, add one handful of finely chopped spinach and keep it on heat for 2-3 minutes
3. After that u can add half a cup of milk (and feta cheese if you want) and then u r done
but again, the measurements can change as per your liking and your taste...so you just gotta trust your taste buds, the end result should be a soupy kinda taste. Hope this helps
