Burmese Khowsuey

Burmese Khowsuey

With Dussehra, Durga Puja and now Eid, all of us seem to be on a culinary high, here at Slurrpy. Our office smells of different food, we talk of all the food in the world and I can swear by every grain of Biryani for becoming fatter. I don’t know how you are managing all this weight this season, but I can tell for myself and I tell you I’ve been binging bad. It’s only today that I settled for a piece of plain sandwich and a cup of coffee. The cook-a-thon ended finally, which started with cooking a piping hot meal of Burmese Khowsuey.

Bumese Khowsuey is a very delicately flavored, coconut-milk-based thick soup which is served up with an array of condiments or toppings. Believe me, this dish is a next-level dish and a spoonful will let you know of its plethora of flavors, all prominent, but never clashing! It is a culinary harmony and not chaos.
