Khawosay is a famous main course dish in the Memon Community around the world. It was originally an appetizer dish in Thailand. It consists of Boiled Spaghetti , Yogurt Curry, Chicken Curry and some garnish on top. 🙂
Yogurt Curry

- 4 tbsp Besan (ground chickpea)

Method
- First take a pot and add yogurt, turmeric, green chilli paste and besan with 1/2 cup water and mix well. Once its all combined well, put 2.5 cups of water and let it cook in a low flame for 30 minutes.
- When its cooked, add salt to taste, dried fenugreek leaves and cook it a little more.
- Tarka: put oil in a pan. add red chilli balls, and curry leaves and make them hot. it will take less than a minute so stay alert. Then add the hot tarka on the curry and cover the pot with the lid for 5 minutes.
Important: I didn’t put salt in the beginning. I will put it once the curry is almost ready.
It will look like the above picture.

Boiled Spaghetti

Servings
You can either put these separately in the table or assemble it together in a tray.
To assemble, first put the noodles, then the yogurt curry and then the chicken curry.
Garnish with coriander and Shan Chaat Masala 🙂
Enjoy 🙂
