Ohn no khao swè is a Burmese dish consisting of wheat noodles in a curried chicken and coconut milk broth thickened with gram flour. The dish is often garnished with crisp fried bean fritters, sliced raw onions, chillies, crisp noodles, and slices of hard-boiled egg, and zested with lime or lemon juice and fish sauce.
Ohn no khao swè resembles other coconut milk based noodle soups in Southeast Asia, including the Malaysian laksa, and the khao soi of Chiang Mai and Luang Prabang. The Indian khow suey and Pakistani khausa descend from the Burmese ohn no khao swè, likely coinciding with the mass exodus of Burmese Indians in the 1960s back to South Asia, and remains a popular dish in Eastern India.
