Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Step by step easy Khao Soi recipe with Photos of each step. This is not an authentic recipe which calls for a meat curry and a separate coconut curry. Instead, I have made one simple but equally delicious curry that is both quick and practical. Yes, I combined goodness of both curry in one pot — super quick and yummy!

Khao Soi is Burmese main course. It consist of noodles, meat curry, coconut curry and a variety of condiments. The dish requires some time to cook but it’s worth the pain as it’s so delicious and yummy.

You can also check my other post of Bohra Khao Soi in which I discussed a variety of condiments and spices.
