Traditional Egyptian KOSHARI.

Koshari is a beloved Egyptian dish that has a long and interesting history. This hearty vegetarian dish is a mixture of rice, lentils, chickpeas, macaroni, and fried onions, all topped with a spicy tomato sauce. It is said to have originated in the late 19th century, during the British occupation of Egypt, when Indian sailors brought their own version of a lentil and rice dish to the country. Egyptians quickly adopted the dish and made it their own by adding macaroni, chickpeas, and a variety of spices to create the unique flavor that is now synonymous with koshari. Today, koshari is considered a staple of Egyptian cuisine and can be found in restaurants and street food vendors throughout the country. Its popularity has even spread beyond Egypt’s borders, with koshari being enjoyed by food lovers all around the world..
