About this listen
Koshari is Egypt's beloved street food — a comforting layered bowl of rice, lentils, pasta, chickpeas, tomato sauce, tangy vinegar-chili dressing, and crispy fried onions. The dish is all about texture contrast and balance: soft grains, tender legumes, smooth sauce, sharp acidity, gentle heat, and crunchy topping. Originating from everyday working-class kitchens influenced by multiple cultures, koshari became a national comfort food because it is affordable, filling, and customizable. Its magic comes from harmony through difference — simple ingredients combined so each bite feels lively, satisfying, and deeply communal.
