Who Are The Parsis| What Is Parsi Food | Parsi Community In India | Parsi Cuisine

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.

    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.

    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

    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 ☺️

    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 !

  • @RoxanneBamboat

    @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 :)

  • @RoxanneBamboat

    @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.
