Widely regarded as an excellent hangover cure and a great remedy, khashi is a soup made by boiling beef intestines, tripe, shank, as well as other organs such as kidneys. Carrots, onions, bell peppers, and various greens may also be used.

After the broth has been prepared, milk or pieces of milk-soaked bread can be added to the pot along with salt, pepper, and chopped garlic. It is said that khashi was invented when the poor had to give away all their meat to the rich, being left only with the organs, heads, and hooves of the animals.

Ever since the promotion of the soup as a particularly healthy dish, it became popular among all social classes.
