Jomja: a taste of tradition and family togetherness.

In this episode, we explore Jomja, a traditional dish from Paro, prepared during Lomba and Bongko festivals. Made with rice, eggs, butter, walnuts, and perilla seeds, this special dish celebrates the harvest and brings families together, with each member playing a part in its preparation. From flattening the rice base to making the rich gravy, we uncover the flavors, techniques, and cultural stories behind Jomja; a true reflection of Bhutanese heritage.
