Koshari

About Koshari

The national dish of Egypt and its most popular street food. A layered heap of rice, brown lentils, pasta, and chickpeas topped with spiced tomato sauce and crispy fried onions. Built from Indian kichri and Italian pasta influences in cosmopolitan Cairo. Accidentally vegan. Sold from carts and hole-in-the-wall shops from morning to night. A complete meal for pocket change.
