Burma (officially known as Myanmar); a small landlocked nation in South Asia overshadowed by
giants such as China, India and Thailand. Mostly in the news fo r political reasons, its cuisine has
yet to be explored. Culinary conversations about South-East Asian food always revolve aro und
Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, hence Burmese cuisine always manages to slip thro ugh the
cracks. To any food lovers surprise, this undetected culinary gem is exploding with taste, colors
and aromas. The only way to bring Burmese cuisine to the fore is by understanding their flavors
and creating them in your kitchen.

Coconut Milk Broth
Heavily inspired by the fare of its neighbors, China, Thailand and India, Burma adapts fore ign
flavors into local manna to make it their own signature dish. One such dish that I have had at
numerous occasions, mostly home-cooked, is Khow Suey. In essence the use of coconut milk can
be attributed to Thai influence, but when the whole dish comes together, along with the use of
various condiments, the dish stamps its own individual identity. For years I have been searching
the internet and various cookbooks to find the recipe for Khow Suey, but the results were
fruitless. Either they were unnecessarily complicated or very bare. To my surprise, where most
entries on a search engine coughs up millions of hits, Khow Suey barely had any. It was then when
it dawned upon me, the fragrance and taste of this dish deserved more, it had to be made public
knowled e. The solution was research and com ilation. It re uired me to stud the information I

Break the dried spaghetti into small pieces and fry in the oil till they are crisp and brown. Soak
on a kitchen towel to remove the excess oil

After that prepare the gram flour to be used later. Add the gram flour to a frying pan and cook
over low heat for about 5 minutes or till the color changes slightly and you can smell the flour.
Move the flour around the pan so the bottom does not burn. Once it is cooked, remove and set
aside.

Stir the mixture for another 5 minutes. At this point try a spoon of the curry to see if you can
taste the flour. If not, your curry is ready. You can cook the curry to your desired thickness,
normally Khow Suey curry should be runny. Let it cook more if you want the curry to bethicker. Advisable to let the switch off the heat at this point
Boil the noodles in hot water for about 5-8 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles over a
sieve and let cold water run through them
To serve, transfer all the condiments in one plate

Pour the chicken curry in a separate serving bowl and noodles in another.

Create your own dish by putting the noodles first, then the curry and finally the condiments
on top. Normally, there is more curry added in relation to the noodles

Coconut Milk Broth
It is the perfect combination of fragrant chicken curry poured over soft noodles, complemented
by crunchy fried spaghetti, fiery chillies, sour lemon juice and aromatic coriander. With one bite
you would be amazed at the plethora of f lavors emanating from the cuisine that goes by largely
unnoticed. But not anymore, this recipe is sure to put Burma on the map when it comes to
culinary skills. For all of us, it is yet another page in the book of worldly cuisines, yet anotherlesson on our way to mastering food from around the world. It is still just a drop in the ocean but
a journey on the right path, nonetheless.

I can definitely see the Thai influence. It's also assembled similarly to some
Vietnamese dishes. I can't wait to try this...the toasted noodles would add a lot, I
think. Thanks for posting!

Hi, stumbled upon your recipe for one of my child hood favourites. Your style is
pretty similar to mine. Here is a suggestion - you can chop garlick and then fry till it turns brown, this makes a tasty garnish. Also, try substituting 'sattu' for
gram flour. It gives an interesting flavour.
