Foods popular on Navroze Day are highlighted with recipes for you to cook:
India’s Parsi Breakfast usually consists of Sweet Ravo (Semolina) – choc-a-bloc with dry fruits) which is served with yogurt and enjoyed by young and old alike.
Mouth watering Parsi dishes are Kid Gosht, Sali boti (a mutton and potato preparation), chicken farchas, patra ni machchi (fish steamed in a leaf), mutton pulao or Berry Pulao and Dhansak / Masala dal and saas ni machchi (a thick white gravy with pomfret) jostle for space on the table.
Desserts too are not behind in terms of variety, the most easy to make being Falooda. It is a sweet milk drink made from vermicelli and flavored with rose essence. Lagan-nu-custard is a favorite on this occasion.
If you are adventurous – go for making Rita’s famous Dar ni Pori (Sweet pastry with lentils) or Rita’s Malido. Early preparation (one day ahead) required.
