About the dish

Jasha maroo is a traditional dish consisting of diced chicken that is cooked with garlic, ginger, chiles, and tomato sauce. This combination of ingredients is usually served on top of red or brown rice. The dish is quite spicy, as most of Bhutanese dishes usually are, since the most distinctive characteristic of Bhutanese cuisine is its spiciness. Along with chili peppers, rice is another staple of many Bhutanese dishes, so it is common to find it accompanying many meat dishes in Bhutan.
