Koshari Recipe

Koshari needs no introduction. A Koshari recipe, or kushari, or koshary, is a traditional Egyptian staple food that consists of several starches, and lentils, and topped with a tomato sauce, garlic vinegar and garnished with chickpeas and crispy fried onion. Koshari is a popular street food enjoyed in many countries over the African continent.

The main starches in a koshari recipe consist of rice and pasta, two ingredients that make this recipe very versatile and interesting. We use penne pasta in our version of the koshari, but I have seen people using spaghetti too. The zesty tomato sauce is made of a combination of tomatoes, vinegar, water and other delicious spices.

We would like to know what you think of this koshari recipe. If you have a good koshari recipe then please share it on this page where you can tell us everything about your koshari recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page where we can share food and cooking ideas together.
