Khausay-Memoni Style
Khausay-Memoni Style
The dish, known as Khao swè, originated in Burma, and came to East India with Indians who migrated from Burma during World War II. It is associated with street food in India. The Memon community of Pakistan also adapted this dish, likely coinciding with the emigration of South Asians from Burma i and is now a representative Memon dish now known as khausa.This recipe is inspired by the Memon style Khausay, which is spicy, tangy and crispy all in one dish. The base of the dish is a mildly spiced coconut curry which lifts the flavour of the dish. The chicken curry adds the spice element to the dish. There are lots of condiments that go with this dish which gives the dish more soul and texture.My Memon friend actually introduced me to this dish. At first I was quite skeptical about the taste as I couldn't interpret the combination, but when I had it I just couldn't get over the variety of flavours one dish could offer.This dish is definitely a must -try for all those who are in for a flavourful experience.
