Konteksto sa Kultura
Ang jasha maru ay kari ng manok ng Bhutan — ang pinakamadalas kainin na putaheng manok sa Bhutan. Sumasalamin ang putahe sa pagiging maparaan ng mga Bhutanese: mas mura ang manok kaysa yak o baka, at hindi nangangailangan ang putahe ng mahal na keso. Mas madaling makuha rin ang manok sa mga tahanang Bhutanese sa mas mababang altitude.
