Kochari video/ كشري



Our friend Chahira from Walima club gave us two challenges for this months' competition, Basboussa and Kochari.
We only have to do one recipe, I originally decided to do Basboussa. I have never made kochari and I was curious about it, I saw it in a lot of egyptian movies.
Even though I didn't have enough time, I put other recipes aside to do this.
Thank you Chahira for mentionning these recipes for our challenge and I hope everyone enjoys them. /
