Jasha Maru

Bhutanese-style chicken stew with tomato, leek, ginger, green chilli and a coriander-leaf finish.

About Jasha Maru

Jasha Maroo is a Bhutanese chicken stew with a light, aromatic liquid. Maumita Paul’s rendition combines chicken with onion, leek and tomato, accompanied by the warmth of ginger and the heat of green chillies.

Tomato brings brightness to the savoury chicken, while garlic and ginger give the stew a fresh aromatic character. Coriander leaves provide a green, fragrant finish around the tender pieces of meat.

The stew is presented hot, with red rice as a suggested accompaniment. Chicken, vegetables and bright herbs share a simple bowl, with the rice offering a mild companion to their aromatic flavours.
