Kushari (Egypt)

Perhaps the most popular street food in Egypt, Kushari is a melange of different small noodles, rice, fried onions, tomato paste, garbanzo beans, lentils and spices served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon. It can be very flavorful although not necessarily very inventive. It is highly energetic, likely the reason for why many workers will eat this for lunch. As the picture shows, it is a simple yet interesting food!
