Khow suey

Common card · No. 297840

Khausa (Memoni: ખાવસા) or khow suey (Hindi: खाओ सुए, from Burmese: ခေါက်ဆွဲ) is a South Asian noodle soup derived from the Burmese dish ohn no khao swè. Popular among the Memon community in India and Pakistan, the dish typically consists of spaghetti noodles served with a dahi (yoghurt) and gram flour-based curry and various condiments, and is often enjoyed during communal gatherings. A squeeze of lemon also adds tanginess to khow suey. When Memon businessmen were transplanted to Karachi, they adapted the dish to their liking by adding more spices. They replaced egg noodles with spaghetti since it was more easily available. Along with the noodles, they made a thick yogurt and gram flour curry as a dip. To put the icing on the cake, they added a meat gravy made from barbecued meat.
