Parsi/Parsee Wedding Menu

Parsi weddings too are occasions for fun, frolic,
dancing and merrymaking. Bottles of colorful aerated drinks are
served with fish cooked in banana leaves, mutton pulao, fried
chicken and dal. The sweets too are rich and creamy. Parsi
pickle, made with carrots, sugar and raisins and vinegar is
finger licking good and tasty.
Their marriages, fashions and other celebrations are accompanied by legendary feasts of meat, sweets and fish specialties.
The
first serving begins with
achaar
(pickle) and
chapattis
(bread)
and a
vegetable dish like Parsi
Lagansara Stew.
Second
serving can be a chicken (or any
meat) dish. This Chicken course
includes:
Chicken
Farcha
or
Salli Ma Margi

some examples are

Fifth and a sweet ending
with
Lagan Nu
Custard, an extremely rich dessert,
is offered. In the summer
Cassata Icecream or chilled
Kulfi
is better.
Dinner is served on clean green banana leaves ( plates which are
organic and degradable). Starters are Wafers, Machi no sas (promfrets),
picles and chicken farchas. You can see the lagan-nu-custard
wrapped in foil for later.
Hot dishes served on washed banana leaves which
release a sweet flavor that can only be experienced.
