- Updated: January 2, 2017
The plate will be served traditionally, on a banana leaf
“The Parsi delicacies we find in restaurants are not authentic. All pronounced and done, during a finish of a day, restaurants usually caring about their bottom line,” starts Firdosh Batliwala, who will horde a pop-up this weekend to showcase a gratifying cooking of a community, some of that you’d be hard-pressed to find outward of a Parsi home.
Mutton pulao
The 39-year-old proprietor of Jogeshwari’s Behram Baug Parsi Colony comes from a liberality background, holding a grade in hotel management. “Signing adult to be a home cook with Authenticook seemed like a good event to uncover people that there is some-more to a cuisine than is visible,” says Batliwala.
Eats and leaves
On a menu for a pop-up are dishes such as Dhansak Dal, Mutton Pulao, Salli Murgh (chicken gravy bedecked with potato straws), Saas ni Machchi (spiced fish baked in a sweet-and-sour white sauce), as good as Lagan nu Custard and hiss soda — that much-loved splash that is apropos increasingly formidable to locate in a city.
Since a plate will underline specialties that are served during Parsi weddings and Navjote ceremonies, Batliwala has selected to offer a transport in a normal fashion, on banana leaves instead of plates.
Plates tell tales
Explaining how a food baked in a Parsi kitchen competence differ from grill fare, Batliwala says, “Take Dhansak Dal, for instance. It’s traditionally done with 5 forms of pulses, while eateries competence use usually one or dual kinds. This creates a difference.”
He adds that earlier, dhansak used to be eaten on a fourth day of someone’s flitting away. “However, over a years, it has turn partial of a Sunday meal,” he adds.
Another myth people have, Batliwala shares, is that Parsis hatred vegetables. “This is untrue. We have French beans with mutton, and cluster beans in a plate with prawns. We eat vegetables, as prolonged as it comes with a meat,” he says, laughing.
