Khaosay is a popular dish among Memon Community of Karachi, it is originated in Burma and Thailand as Khao Suey soup but modified by Indian Memon community of Karachi as a whole meal. It is very pungent and tasty dish. It is a compound dish including a Chicken Curry, Coconut Karhi, Boiled Spaghetti and Garnish .
