kh manLet me introduce this interesting dish to you,
“In Memoni cuisine, Khow suey, from Burmese, is a noodle dish that comes from the mountainous Shan State. It is a one-dish soup meal made of egg noodles and curried beef or chicken with coconut milk, served with a variety of contrasting condiments. A squeeze of lemon also adds tanginess to Khow Suey. The dish is similar to the Burmese noodle dish.”
In Karachi this is not only famous among Memoni community but also all Memoni cuisine lovers. This is a modified version. Like “Singaporen rice” we Pakistanis add some Pakistani Tarka in it…lolz.
