Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The Parsi community is an integral part of India and Mumbai. This video highlights who the Parsis are and what Parsi food or Parsi Cuisine entails. I've highlighted a little history where the Parsis came from, the kind of ingredients used in Parsi food and even touched a little on Irani cafes, a Parsi navjote and bhona nu patru. Hope you enjoy this video and please do leave me a comment if you have any more questions because this really is a brief introduction.
Some of the images used in this video are from this wonderful blogpost about a Parsi feast written by my favourite writers Jeroo and Gustasp Irani you can read the post here - gustaspandjeroo.wordpress.com...
The illustrated images are photographs taken from a wonderful book about Zoroastrianism called In Search Of My God there's also a free PDF version online.

Thank you so much Karan ! I'm so happy you enjoyed this :)
Very educational video! Thanks.
Thank you for such a detailed explanation on Parsi culture. I no longer live in India but my neighbors were Iranis and I was explaining the culture to my kids. This video helped us understand better. Thank you!
Wonderful brief explanation, I’ve always loved Patio, that my green baa or grandma from Surat used to feed me when growing up including a lot others like Dhansaak!, from you video after @ 45 years I learnt the real background of those foods and the Parsis, who I love a lot like Homi Wadia, Dr. Bhabhi, Of course Mr. Ratan Tata and the Bollywood parsis, Bowman Irani, John Abraham and others great ones!!! Thanks a lot!!
You're so well-spoken!

Sorry but this is nonsense. The Sasanian dishes are the ones Iranians eat. Aush e Reshteh is a direct Sasanian recipe. That's Persan food. This is some weird Indian Hybrid.
The Parsis are one very fine community and India is very proud of their Parsis... We love them..!
Hello Roxanne, Thanks for making this beautiful video :) It's so good to see that you are spreading the information of your beautiful community and making us all aware. I have a request, can you please create more detailed video: Like: 1) How the FireTemple looks like inside, why Non-Parsis are not allowed, 2) Your day to day customs, 3) More about your festivals and their importance, 4) Do Parsis still visit their Persian land for anything or they are detached totally from it. 5) What types of different Parsis surnames are there in India, how it differentiated earlier? 6) Any specific music tradition that you all follow 7) Your homes/architecture which is specific to your community. 8) Your religious places where we can visit (I happen to visit one in Diu, it was beautiful) 9) Specific restaurants which we should definitely try. 10) What your priests are called? 11) Any language(script/verbal) which is still in used? 12) Calendar that you all follow. etc... It would be so nice to know more, even Vlogs would be great too. Please do consider making on these content. Thanks a lot. Regards 🙂🙏 PS: Feel free to reach me out if any help is required. I would love to contribute and can help in creating good content.

Happy new year to all Persian in India.🌹🌹🌹🌹💗💗🙏🙏.Iranian proud of u all
Thanks for making this wonderful video! People of Parsi community also live in Kolkata. The first Indian Sheriff of Kolkata was also a Parsi. Still there are 2/3 streets that named after the Parsis. Can you tell me, originally what was the mother tongue of Parsi people? I read somewhere, it is now Gujarati.
❤❤
Kindly let me know the name of the parsi garam masala and the company name as well. Grateful. Love watching and listening to your beautiful voice. ❤
Nice
Great video! Love from Pakistan...
Respect for Ratan Tata..
What a fantabulous video. I’m definitely falling in love with the Parsi community even more now. I recently made the Lagan Nu Custard and it was a hit. I shared with my family and neighbours and was enlightening them about the Parsi Food & Community. Keep sharing more videos and more recipe. God Bless.

Where can i get khajur ni Gari?
No doubt Parsis now living in Bombay should protect their culture - I have seen Parsis living in Iran near Yazd hardly find young ones who emigrated out of Iran while the elderly are still living there. Parsis in India are very well placed while the Iranian community faces difficuties. Whenever I went to Iran I made sure to visit the Parsi villages and the Fire Temple of Yazd. We shoul d never forget those who are living in Iran and may Ahura Mazda protect them. Persian cuisine is the basis of many culinaries n Inda and Pakistan. We should never forget that Persian culture was very high and lived a glorious era in the history of mankind
Could you please share Malido recepe. Thanks
Such a lovely video. I learned so much about Parsis.
Hey, thanks for the lovely video. How did Parsi cuisine pick up portuguese influences?
@RoxanneBamboat
4 жыл бұрын
The Portuguese influence is really just chillies and vinegar the Portuguese were in india for a fair amount of time before the East India Company and the British Empire. A lot of folks says that for years Parsi homes would have Goan cooks and they would use a lot of vinegar and make Goan curries and we took to that as well and made our own version of curries very similar to how the Goans do. So over all a lot of influences from the coastal states Maharashtra Gujarat and Goa in terms of ingredients or styles of cooking but of course made it their own. Hope this help ☺️
Hon.jamshed ji tata,hon.Ratan tata sir...and Hon.Cyrus poonawala is my idols who's belong from Parsi community....but they are indians Frist.....

Hi Roxanne, great video! Wanted to know what would be the distinct difference between Parsi and Irani cuisine
@RoxanneBamboat

Hi Raylene, thank you so much I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'd say Parsi food has more spices like garam masala, turmeric, cumin coriander a lot of vinegar and Irani food is milder, not heavy with spice and more use of lentils with meat, more stews. The Iranis in India like my neighbor eat a lot of what Parsis eat the same dishes but some are what they consider more Persian in their roots like a gormeh sabzi or a Khoresht which are more like stews and don't use many Indian spices. I hope this helps !

I'm vegetarian, so can I have veg Parsi cuisines ??
I love. You
I have noticed that some small girls from Paris community do wear round cap on head, some wear peace of fabric and some didn't wear anything. What is tradition or logic behind it ??
Specially the place of country they came from.
Which are the main vegetarian parsi dishes. Is it true DhanShak is made during mourning and peelo dal at weddings made o
@RoxanneBamboat

Yes it's true. Some popular vegetarian dishes are - Parsi Istoo, Veg dhansak ( basically same dal and rice but without the mutton or chicken ), Parsi Masoor, Ravaiya, lots of egg dishes are considered vegetarian in most homes so Akuri, salli per eedu etc.

Can you describe what should a great Dhanshakh should taste like?
@RoxanneBamboat
2 жыл бұрын
Slightly tricky to explain but I'll try. It's basically a mixture of 3 dals so essentially tastes like dal only but there is a heavy flavour of the meat that adds to it. Also like most Parsi dishes it HAS to have a touch of khatas or sour so we usually use the vinegar I mentioned in the video but even nimboo works. It's just a slight touch of khatta not too much. Usually spiced with garam masala and the parsi dhansak masala. The rice is not really sweet but is caramalised to give it that brown colour. I have a recipe on the channel for dhansak if you like. Try it out :)
Hey Roxanne, Do Parsis eat beef? Is it allowed in your religion?
@RoxanneBamboat
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Snigdha, Yes it is allowed. A lot of Parsis do eat beef. Some very orthodox ones say you shouldn't but as I mentioned in the video also SO much of our history ( written history ) was destroyed so we don't really know for sure if it was ever forbidden as such but because we've been eating it for centuries it doesn't seem likely. We do however abstain from it for one month called Bahman Mahino where we stay away from meat ( fish is allowed ) and are mostly vegetarian for that month. There are many Parsis that also do no eat beef but that's more a personal choice.

Infact it was not Aeander the GReat who may have destroyed the Spring Capital of Persipols but he was well educated and I do not agree that he destroyed libraries which were written on cylinders. THe actual damage came much later in 7th century when Arabs plundered cities after cities and destroyed local culture
