Tip
This recipe has been adapted from the cookbook Cairo Kitchen by Suzanne Zeidy.
Koshary is an Egyptian street food that we experienced and fell in love with on our travels in Cairo. It doesn't look great in the photo but is so worth the effort and the ultimate comfort food.
This is such an epic dish with so many elements it took me a while to think how I could short cut some things hence using tinned lentils and chickpeas. Traditionally dried ones would be soaked and cooked. You can also fry your own onion for garnish but I use dried shallots to make it easier.
This dish will make heaps to feed a crowd or be prepared for leftovers. The dakka sauce will add moisture and flavour so don't be shy with it but add it at the time of serving. On the other hand the liquid red chili goes a long way so you could probably half the amounts I've stated.
Hope you love it.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

I love this. So many different carbs and they're all so delicious together. I never would have thought it would be this nice but it was.
Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
Just wow.
If the sauce cooking at the start isnt enough to wow you the rest of the dish sure will. The smell is amazing!
I had no tomato paste and forgot to add the lentils but this dish did not disappoint. This recipe makes a really huge dish with enough leftovers to freeze for later.
Highly recommended and I have shared this recipe on my instagram, @simonethehealthyvegan
Thank you for such a delicious recipe!
thank you
OMG Love this dish! Will be a regular for sure!! Thank you so much for sharing. Just travelling down the road of healthy, tasty eating (without meat) and love this
This definitely reminded us of wandering around Cairo, its just like the food we ate in Egypt! Thanks for sharing this recipe, ill be making it again
This dish certainly is epic. I makes a lot so you could definitely half the ingredients (i did a little over half) The liquid chilli sauce is so hot that you really do need to do a drizzle at a time because too much will overpower the wonderful flavours of the dish. We served it last night as we have a friend over for a regular Tuesday night meal. My husband and friend both went back for seconds and i filled 3 containers of leftovers! Love the freshness of the flavors and it doesn't leave an after taste in your mouth. Very time consuming but so worth it. Definitely a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing Mrs Thermovixen.
