BM # 10 Day 4
Years back when I was in college I had a friend who migrated from Burma.Her mom cooked excellent Burmese.Kweshwe was one of the dishes I remember.Very recently one of my friends made this for lunch…memories flashed back…I had not had this in the last 30 years!!…Kweshwe is a Burmese dish.One can call it a kind of bhel…or should we call it soup?…actually it is a meal by itself.Serve it piping hot,make it spicy or mild absolutely ideal in winters,giving that comfort feeling.The to do list of pre perations is rather long,but believe me it’s not cumbersome at all.

To serve
Place the steaming hot bowl of curry on the table
Along with hot spagetti and all the garnishes in individual bowls.
Let the guest serve themselves by first putting spaghetti in their bowls ,then adding curry and finally the garnishes according to their individual taste.I did not add the starred ingredients* as I prefer it without them,but you could try, they taste awsum as my son says!
Also be lavish with the garnishes,I have’nt been due to pics,else would’nt be able to know what goes in!!
This curry soup goes to Radhika’s Winter Carnival,Kalyani’s Global Food Festival ,and Srivalli’s Blogging Marathon.

This is new dish for me, I had one burmese rice which was highly recommended by the caterer for my son's first birthday. Even after a year I am told by many guests that they absolutely loved the burmese rice. I will give this one a shot soon
