    Burmese Samosa Thouk is a delicious street food that is easy to make at home. Flaky samosa dunked in a spicy lentil gravy and served with shredded cabbage.

    Burmese Samusa Soup RecipeMy country of choice for the day starting with the letter M is Myanmar aka Burma. Since Burma shares it's boundaries with China, India and Thailand, it's cuisine is heavily influenced by all these countries. There are quite a few Burmese dishes that I have bookmarked to try, but in the end I made this simple and delicious Burmese Samosa thouk.Burmese Samusa Soup RecipeI saw this dish for the first time on Vaishali's blog and bookmarked it right away. Burmese Samosa thouk is a popular street food in Burma/ Myanmar. I made it once before when I had some leftover samosa and it was fabulous. I made it again yesterday, so I can share it with you guys on the blog as well.Burmese Samusa Soup RecipeThe soup part of this Burmese Samosa thouk is nothing but our everyday simple dal. After tasting the dish, I thought this is Burmese version of South Indian Sambar Vada except in this dish samosa is dunked in spicy dal instead of vada. I loved the crunchy cabbage topping and the lemon juice perks everything up.Burmese Samusa Soup RecipeI used Vaishali's recipe and this recipe from Epicurious. The latter recipe also uses falafel along with samosa, so I went ahead and added a few warm falafel as well into my soup. All in all this is a filling meal for any time of the day.

    Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 93.
