​Diverse Influences in Parsi Cuisine

​Parsi food blends Malvani, Gujarati, and English flavors, reflecting its rich history.

​A Sweet Integration

​When Parsis migrated to Gujarat, they promised to mix with locals like sugar in milk, influencing their cuisine.

​Adapting Through Migration

​Food historian Kurush Dalal highlights how Parsis adapted local delicacies with a Parsi touch.

​Coconut curry

​Considering coconut does not grow in the Gulf, it's an ingredient that entered Parsi cuisine only after migrating to India.

​Local seafood

​The steamed fish preparation existed in Parsi cuisine before the community journeyed to India, but the fish type changed after moving.

​Hotter food

​It's the chillies that the Portuguese brought to India that made Parsi food hotter.

​English custard

​Lagan Nu Custard is the most popular dessert from Parsi cuisine but this sweet dish made an appearance in Parsi cookbooks thanks to the British.

​ Vegetarian fare

​It's often assumed that Parsi cuisine is heavily non-vegetarian but this isn't true. After moving to Gujarat, "a huge amount of fresh vegetables became available to Parsis.
