ATHO

Atho,a Burmese food also a popular street food in India.Atho is nothing but cooked plain noodles mixed and served with fresh raw vegetables.Orange colored noodles are used in making Atho,I have used plain noodles with orange food color.Many are addicted to these Burmese food ,two things that are very annoying about this Atho are they are prepared in unclean,dirty places and the veggies are raw and exposed to lot of contamination and pollution.So now with easy recipe and simple steps,you can easily make them at home.
I have excluded ajinomotto from this ,but if you would like to add just add a pinch of it.So do try this recipe at home under hygienic condition with clean fresh veggies.
