A Journey of Flavors
After World War II, many people from India who lived in Burma moved back to India. These people were from different parts of India. They included Tamils, Telugus, and Marwaris. When they returned, they brought their food traditions with them.
In Thanjavur, a city in Tamil Nadu, you can find khauk swè. It is sold by these migrants. There's even an area called Burma Colony where it's commonly eaten. In Chennai, another Indian city, a similar dish is sold. It's called atho, which comes from the Burmese word for salad.
