Khow Suey - Vegetarian

Khow Suey the Burmese one dish soup soup meal that I was introduced to by La. She took me to this place called The Kitchen in Khan Market, Delhi. It was amazing. And AA gave me the recipe. It was not comparable to the one I had, but then this was the first time I was making it. And the toppings were not quite the same - the fried onion that I made not so crisp, the peanut powder should have been coarse and so on. But L said different places make the dish differently and what I made was definitely different, but  quite tasty.
