"Kewa" means potato, and unlike chili-forward ema datshi, this dish puts potato in the starring role. It's often made for children or anyone who isn't fond of spice, and the humble combination of potato sautéed in plenty of butter with cheese produces a simple, comforting flavor. A similar dish made with Himalayan mushrooms, called "shamu datshi," is also well known.
Peel the potato and cut into thin half-moons. Thinly slice the onion.
Heat butter in a pot and lightly sauté the onion.
Add the potato and stir-fry together, then add the water and salt.
Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the potato is tender.
Tear the cheese into pieces and add, along with chopped chili if using.
Once the cheese has softened slightly, remove from heat and serve.
