Parsi dhansak

Parsi dhansak is a traditional dish from the Parsi community in India, combining Persian and Indian culinary influences. It typically features a flavorful mix of lentils, meat (often goat or chicken), and a blend of spices, including garlic, ginger, and various aromatic herbs. The dish is usually served with rice and a side of caramelized onions or fried eggplant. Dhansak is unique for its sweet-sour taste, achieved by incorporating ingredients like tamarind and jaggery. It is often consumed during festive occasions and is a significant part of Parsi cultural heritage.
