Table of Content

An off-beat finger-food from Burmese cuisine, the Budijaw is made by deep-frying bottle gourd fingers coated in a spicy batter. The batter gets its lip-smacking flavour from a pungent onion paste and a couple of spice powders too.


This crispy snack is complemented well by a tangy and spicy garlic chutney. Serve this Burmese Doodhi Snack immediately on preparation, to enjoy its special texture that is crisp outside and succulent inside.

Fab, the combo of deep fried doodhi and good spicy garlic chutney make a great starter. Cooked this dish many times and the guests just love it.

These look delicious. The correct name for this snack is ?Buthee Kyaw?. The word ?thee? means fruit and ?Kyaw? pronounced ?jaw? means fried.
