Burmese Khowsuey


This dish dawned upon me at 12 o'clock in the night. You will not believe how simple and blitzy this dish is.

Burmese Khowsuey is a one pot soup and noodle dish which originates from Burma, now known as Myanmar. I first tried this dish at a local Chinese restaurant at the chefs recommendation. I had no idea that this dish would surpass all my expectations.

It consists of noodles in a red coconut milk curry with different vegetables and garnishes.

The recipe I illustrate here is an instant recipe which will not disappoint you. It is a recipe for One which can be cooked in a Microwave under 10 minutes.

What you'll need:
- 1 Single Packet of Maggi- Romantic Capsica flavor along with the Tastemaker
- 1 Small packet of Maggi Coconut Milk Powder
- 2 Cups water
- Half a lemon
- 1 Tablespoon chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
- 1 Tablespoon of chopped and fried garlic cloves
- One cup boiled veggies like Mushrooms, Broccoli, Spinach, etc. (optional)

How to cook:

- In a Microwave proof bowl, mix the Maggi Tastemaker and Maggi Coconut Milk Power along with a few tablespoons of water. Mix it to make a Lump-free paste and then add the remaining water.
- Microwave this watery mixture for 2 minutes on High.
- Now add the packet of Maggi in the curry that you've prepared and Microwave it again for 5-6 minutes, till the noodles are cooked.

That is it.

Now serve it in a bowl and garnish it with the chopped coriander leaves and a squeeze of Lemon to give it a good tang.

Sprinkle chopped and fried garlic cloves at the end as a garnish.

Tastes best when served HOT.

Hope you enjoy it.
