Tip

This recipe has been adapted from the cookbook Cairo Kitchen by Suzanne Zeidy. 

Koshary is an Egyptian street food that we experienced and fell in love with on our travels in Cairo. It doesn't look great in the photo but is so worth the effort and the ultimate comfort food. 

This is such an epic dish with so many elements it took me a while to think how I could short cut some things hence using tinned lentils and chickpeas. Traditionally dried ones would be soaked and cooked. You can also fry your own onion for garnish but I use dried shallots to make it easier. 

This dish will make heaps to feed a crowd or be prepared for leftovers. The dakka sauce will add moisture and flavour so don't be shy with it but add it at the time of serving. On the other hand the liquid red chili goes a long way so you could probably half the amounts I've stated. 

Hope you love it.

    Just wow.
    If the sauce cooking at the start isnt enough to wow you the rest of the dish sure will. The smell is amazing!
    I had no tomato paste and forgot to add the lentils but this dish did not disappoint. This recipe makes a really huge dish with enough leftovers to freeze for later.
    Highly recommended and I have shared this recipe on my instagram, @simonethehealthyvegan
    Thank you for such a delicious recipe!

  • This dish certainly is epic.

    This dish certainly is epic.  I makes a lot so you could definitely half the ingredients (i did a little over half)  The liquid chilli sauce is so hot that you really do need to do a drizzle at a time because too much will overpower the wonderful flavours of the dish.  We served it last night as we have a friend over for a regular Tuesday night meal.  My husband and friend both went back for seconds and i filled 3 containers of leftovers! Love the freshness of the flavors and it doesn't leave an after taste in your mouth.  Very time consuming but so worth it.  Definitely a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing Mrs Thermovixen.
