Harkening back to our countries of origin, to celebrate the New Year and the coming of  Navroz, we are suggesting that we tell our friends and neighbors who we are by sharing a snippet of our culture, and reviving the tradition of giving them a gift of ‘mithu mohnu’ – any sweet dish.

We suggest we make something sweet (shirini) for six or more of our neighbors, gift-wrap it nicely, include a little write up (or the book) in your gift box/plate/basket and deliver it personally to them on or the day before Jamshedi Navroz.

Suggestions for ‘mithoo mohnu’ include: khatai, ravo, badam pak, sev, dahi, mava cake, kumas, parsi custard, mava ni boi, dar ni pori, badam-ni-boi , jalebi, rabri, or any other traditional sweet dish.
