Egyptian Koshari

This is the national dish and most famous and loved dish of Egypt. It is also common in street foods.
We can call it Khichri in Urdu.. But their way of serving is a little different and my family loves Middle Yeast cuisine so we love this dish. It is very easy to make. And if you like more spices, you can add red chilli flakes or red chilli powder in the tomato soup which is called ‘Dakous’ in Arabic.
It is served in two ways, either make the lentil and rice separate or mix them and make a Koshari already.
The macaroni size is preferred small rings one but due to quarantine I couldn’t avail it. But the elbow shape is also used commonly.
