Bhutanese spicy pork

Finally, after months and months of planning to cook Bhutanese food, I started doing it. I decided that I will cook 3 dishes in 3 separate nights. Last night we had Kewa Phagsha, spicy pork with potatoes. It wasn't half-bad.

The recipe for it is at http://www.marga.org/food/int/bhutan/pork.html

Alas, I forgot to take a picture of the dish, though it wasn't particularly attractive. Basically large slices of potatoes with small pieces of pork.

Tonight I'm planning on making Ema Datshi, chili & cheese, Bhutan's "national" dish. Nothing that I've read about it makes it sound appetizing, so if it doesn't work out I'll just boil some frozen ravioli.
