From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Chetang Goiche is a traditional dish in Tibetan cuisine, consisting of strips of dough that are fried with rapeseed oil and brown sugar. This dish is a common staple in Tibetan households and is often served during special occasions and festivals.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The main ingredients of Chetang Goiche are dough, rapeseed oil, and brown sugar. The dough is typically made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of yeast to help it rise. Rapeseed oil, a common cooking oil in Tibet, is used for frying the dough. Brown sugar is added to give the dish its characteristic sweet flavor.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

To prepare Chetang Goiche, the dough is first rolled out into thin strips. These strips are then fried in rapeseed oil until they become crispy. After frying, the strips are coated in brown sugar, which caramelizes on the surface of the dough, giving the dish its distinctive sweet and crunchy texture.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Chetang Goiche is not just a simple dish in Tibetan cuisine, but also holds cultural significance. It is often served during Tibetan festivals such as Losar, the Tibetan New Year, and other special occasions. The sweet flavor of the dish is said to bring good luck and happiness for the coming year.

Variations[edit | edit source]

While the basic recipe for Chetang Goiche remains the same, there are variations of the dish across different regions of Tibet. Some variations may include additional ingredients such as honey, butter, or dried fruits for added flavor.
