Why Koshari deserves more attention

Koshari rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The hearty and filling complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using molokhia leaves correctly takes real skill.

koshari is considered the national dish representing the multicultural influence on Egyptian cooking. I encountered it first in a traditional Egyptian koshari shop and that context helped me understand it properly. ayran is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Koshari is the dish to start with.
