Making Alexandrian Koshari with Eggs and Falahy Sauce
Alexandrian koshari is one of Egypt's popular traditional dishes that combines high nutritional value with low cost. It is known for its delicious taste and ease of preparation. The dish relies on main ingredients such as Egyptian rice, yellow lentils, and chopped onions, with added ghee and spices to enhance the flavor. Its preparation involves layering properly cooked koshari, with a secret to cooking the lentils until they are tender and quick-cooking, along with a crispy fried egg that is prepared with a little ghee to give it a golden color and a crispy texture from all sides. The dish also includes fresh tomato sauce seasoned with garlic and vinegar, served alongside koshari with appetizers like fried eggplants and fried peppers, enriching the overall experience. This meal is rich in plant-based protein from the lentils, carbohydrates from the rice, healthy fats from the ghee, as well as vitamins and antioxidants from the tomatoes. It is suitable for a family of four and costs less than 50 Egyptian pounds, making it an economical and nutritious option that reflects Alexandrian heritage and brings the family together around the table.
