Parsi cuisine

Parsi cuisine is the traditional food of the Parsi community, descendants of Persian Zoroastrians who settled in India. It blends Persian flavors with Indian spices and ingredients, resulting in a unique culinary style. Common dishes include Dhansak (a flavorful lentil and meat stew), Pulao (spiced rice), and various types of kebabs. Parsis also celebrate their meals with special sweets, like Lagan nu Bhonu (wedding feast) and rich desserts such as custard and cakes. The cuisine often emphasizes balance, incorporating sweet, sour, and savory elements, reflecting the community's rich cultural heritage and history.
