Khow Suey Recipe Pakistani

Chicken Khow Suey or Khao Suey from Myanmar is a popular dish in Pakistan’s Memon & Gujrati community. It consists of coconut or yogurt curry noodles, spicy chicken or beef, and a series of spices.

The measured value is the actual measuring spoon/cup, not the cutlery.

Chicken Stew/Curry: Use chicken instead of beef, use the same ingredients and methods, and omit the water. The chicken will release moisture, which should be enough. Add water only when necessary.
