Description
Parsi food is the amalgamation of all the varied techniques found in the Middle East and Asia. As we discover the various dishes described in this book, you will find a unique blend of spices that make Parsi food very appetizing, nutritious and wholesome.
They married their styles of cooking meats, eggs and seafood with the spices of this land. They maintained all their traditions, but also developed a cuisine that has piques the interest of all Indians. It is Justas rich, spicy and varied as any other Indian regional cooking genre.
It is unique in its own way, using ingredients from all over the world and assimilating the influences that have shaped the history of its community. Parsis prefer non-vegetarian food, mainly consisting of fish, lamb and chicken, and limited vegetarian dishes.
Parsi curry is a typical example of the combination of influences of Iran (nuts), Gujarat and Maharashtra (coconut and spices). Coconut, fish, and rice are considered symbols of plenty and no Parsi feast is complete without these items.
