A Kyaw − Fried Brittles snacks

Myanmar has many popular fried foods that are light, crunchy and grease-free, which you can find on the street. In addition to deep-fried samosas and pancakes, you will find gourd fritters, urad dal fritters, prawn fritters, onion fritters, whitebait fritters, tofu fritters, spring rolls, sweets, breads, and noodles topped with deep-fried crispy garnishes.

The samosa thoke is a traditional Burmese street food that resembles the Indian samosa chaat but not entirely because Burmese samosas are smaller than their Indian cousins. They are filled in with potatoes and chickpea powder. These deep-fried pastries are then dunked in a plain Burmese curry and garnished with mint leaves, sliced onions, tomatoes, cabbage, and brown chickpeas. The base dish is not spicy at all so you can choose to add more chili if you wish.
