Koshari is a beloved Egyptian dish celebrated for its hearty and flavorful blend of ingredients. It combines rice, lentils, chickpeas, and pasta, topped with a tangy tomato sauce and crispy fried onions. Often seasoned with garlic, vinegar, and spices, koshari is a satisfying vegan option packed with protein and fiber from the legumes and grains. Its origins lie in Egypt's rich culinary traditions and it is widely considered a street food staple. While koshari provides essential nutrients and sustained energy, it can be high in carbohydrates and calories due to the starchy components and fried onions. However, its plant-based foundation makes it a healthier comfort food alternative when balanced with portion control.
