About Koshari
Koshari is a beloved Egyptian comfort food that combines diverse ingredients into a hearty and nutritious dish. It features a base of rice, lentils, and pasta topped with chickpeas, crispy fried onions, and a tangy tomato sauce spiced with garlic, vinegar, and chili. Originating in Egypt in the 19th century, Koshari is a popular street food celebrated for its affordability and satisfying flavor. Rich in plant-based proteins from lentils and chickpeas, it provides essential nutrients, fiber, and energy, making it a filling vegetarian option. However, the dish can be high in calories and carbohydrates due to the pasta and rice components, and the fried onions contribute to its fat content. Moderation and portion control can help balance its health profile. Koshari showcases Egyptian cuisine's ability to create flavorful, wholesome meals from simple, readily available ingredients.
