Discover Egyptian food culture: learn to make the tradition (Koshari) Kusha
Koshari is a traditional dish popular in Egypt that is said to have originated during British colonial rule in the 19th century. At that time, workers from India mixed rice, noodles and beans to serve as their lunch.
Over time, this blend of cuisine began to become popular in Egypt. It was a cheap, easy to make and filling food, so during Egypt's difficult economic times, Kusha became a staple food for many.
Over time, Kushab became more and more popular, and people began to add more ingredients such as ketchup, onions, chili sauce, and garlic paste to add flavor. Now, Kushah has become one of Egypt's iconic foods, an integral part of street food and restaurant menus.
