𝙠𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙨𝙪𝙚𝙮 was originated in Burma, and came to East India with Memons who migrated from Burma during second World War.

(Memons are a group of people from Gujrat who used to travel different countries for their business,and so, were known as the “sailor businessmen of India”)

During the partition of India, in 1947, a large number of Memons decided to migrate from the country.Though majority of them was moving to the Pakistan, a considerable number also travelled to Myanmar.

So,this Burmese delicay entered into Indian and Pakistani cuisine when they came back to there ancestors during world war II or after that and needless to say ,they have made their own version of it by fusing their own ingredients with this.

In pakistani version spaghetti is used & sometimes "chaat masala" and "samosa dough"!(or any other crispy fried dough ,I'm not sure) is added to increase its spiciness (though I've not tasted it yet) & It is called by the name "𝙠𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙖".

It is normally served with some bolied noodles along with small pieces (or minced) of sauted/roasted meat in it with a topping of crunchy fried noodles and other ingredients like peanut, fried garlic & onion, chilli flakes etc.(I was served the toppings seperately)

I tasted its veg version from @urban masala

This creamy dish was a little bit sweetish (because of coconut milk,I guess) but had a distinct taste.chilli oil added a extra punch to it & lime juice did the job of balancing its sweetness.But what I enjoyed most was the contrast of crunchiness with creamy texture of the soup....
