Trust us Pakistanis to make a hotch-potch out of everything. We love food so much that we are constantly thinking about what to eat. If we like a particular item, we wonder what else can we add to it, to make it better (and increase quantity). Case in point Khao Suey.
Originally a Burmese dish, it is made using noodles, chicken or beef curry and coconut milk. Pakistanis took this simple dish, and added their own special flair to it. Noodles, the spicy chips called Slims, curry, no ingredient is safe. The best part is, you can customize the dish to add each ingredient to your liking.
The people of Karachi are already huge fans of Khao Suey, so much so that numerous local businesses now offer to cater it. That’s right. You can simply place an order for it and have someone else cook it for you. Honestly, life doesn’t get better than this.
