      In this recipe, I soak the red lentils for 12 hours or overnight before using them as it makes them much easier to digest. If you don’t have any ghee, you can easily use olive oil instead. I’ve also added cashew butter right at the end of this dish a

      Parsi Food - Gulrukh Irani

      Parsi Food

      Parsi Food

      By Gulrukh Irani

      Author’s Note

      I am a wife and mother, always trying to meet the gastronomic requirements of her family who are addicted to the variety of food eaten by Parsees over many years.

      I do not have certificates or degrees to show off my cooking qualifications, nor do I profess to be an excellent cook.  But I do go by an excellent advice given by my mother.  If at the end of a meal your vessels are empty, take it as a compliment that the food was good even if none may verbally commend you.

      Hence I would like to share some of the recipes that ensure empty serving pots at the end of each meal.

      May God bless you, to succeed in such a culinary feat!

      Milk1 cup

      Lemon grass2 leaves

      Ginger½ inch piece

      Cardamom1 (whole or ground)

      Dry tea leaves2 teaspoons

      Sugar or Jaggery as per your taste

      Method:

      If you are going to opt to use jaggery instead of sugar, do not add the milk to the tea preparation whilst boiling.  This is because the milk may curdle.  Add milk only whilst serving.

      Otherwise add all the above ingredients to a pot, bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cover the vessel for the aroma to blend with the tea.  Let it rest for a minute. 

      Then strain through a strainer and serve hot. 

      Akuri

      (Spiced Scrambled Eggs) – For two

      3 table spoons Oil or lard or any cooking fat will do

      2 medium sized onions finely chopped

      1 cup chopped coriander and mint leaves

      1 cup chopped tomatoes

      1 or 2 green chilies sliced vertically

      1 tsp ginger garlic paste

      3 or 4 whipped eggs

      ½ tsp each chili and turmeric powder

      Salt as per your requirements or ½ a tsp.

      Method:

      Heat any cooking fat in a pan; fry the chopped onions along with vertically sliced chilies.  Once the onions are translucent but not completely browned, add ginger-garlic paste and fry till you can smell the aroma. Reduce heat. Add chili powder and turmeric powder.  Fry a while but do not let it burn.  Add chopped tomatoes and chopped coriander and mint leaves.  Mix well
