Not too long ago, there was a thread dealing with the Burmese soup, Khao Soi.
I went to the Khana Khazana web site and found the recipe for it. Thought I’d post it in case anyone was interested in making it. I’ve tried making other recipes from this web site and they’ve turned out well. It sounds interesting. I might try it out one of these days.

Meanwhile boil the noodles till just done. Drain, refresh and drain again and set aside in a bowl. Mix gram flour in quarter cup of water and add to the chicken. Stir and cook till the gravy thickens. Add fish sauce and mix. Add coconut milk and stir and let it heat through. Pour the chicken gravy over the noodles. Serve the condiments in separate bowls. Each person then can add the condiments as per their choice and eat.
Recipe Tip
Chef’s tip: for vegetarians you can replace the chicken with paneer or mushrooms or mixed vegetables.
